-> The Foundation for Teamwork, which has presented the Joe Moore Award for the Most Outstanding Offensive Line Unit in College Football since 2015, today announced the twenty-two members of its 2024 Mid-season Honor Roll with the UConn offensive line earning a spot among the programs honored.

The Huskies offensive line is among a group of o-lines from #7 Alabama, Army, #10 Clemson, Iowa, #18 Kansas State, Louisiana, #13 LSU, #6 Miami, #24 Michigan, Navy, #2 Ohio State, #3 Oregon, #4 Penn State, Rutgers, #25 SMU, #8 Tennessee, #1 Texas, Texas Tech, UNLV, Western Michigan, and West Virginia to make the mid-point honor roll. <-

-> The UConn offensive line, tackles Chase Lundt and Valentin Senn, guards Christopher Fortin and Ben Murawski and center Wes Hoeh, are coached by offensive coordinator Gordon Sammis, in his third season with the program. Through six games in 2024, the Huskies only allow pressure on 22.7% of drop backs, the sixteenth best rate in the nation. UConn has been sacked on just 2.2% of drop backs this season, ninth best rate in the nation. In the running game, the Huskies O-line paves the way for an offense that is averaging 220.3 yards per game to rank 17th nationally. R-Freshman running back Durrell Robinson is the leading freshman rusher in the nation at 421 yards and twenty rushing first downs. <-

That says a lot about where UConn's offence has grown in the past few years, and is a nice feather in the cap of offensive coordinator Gordon Sammis. To be in the top 22 offensive lines in FBS football, read that Big 12.
