Congratulations to Skyler! I wish he was playing in the Fenway bowl for us, but he had one heck of a season!

 

[RedStickHusky]

Hell yeah

 

[BugsyCT]

When we first saw him in game action early last year making big plays, I said I thought he had a chance to be UConn's best offensive player since Donald Brown. Didn't imagine he'd get 1st team All-American though - hearty congrats Skyler!!

 

[businesslawyer]

Congratulations to Skyler, and congratulations to the entire program making for getting him here, keeping him here and putting a team and staff around him where this was all possible.

Skylar Bell was the best wide receiver I ever watched in a Uconn Uniform.

Skylar Bell was the best wide receiver I ever watched in a Uconn Uniform.

They (and you) could at least get Skyler's name right...

 

[HuskyV]

If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere!

Congrats Skyler

 

[JohnFSilver]

Can never take that away from you. I wonder Bells nfl prospects? I am thinking second rounder.

 

[B1GEast]

That's an incredible honor and we'll deserved.

Congrats to Bell, not just for the achievement, but for deciding to return to UConn and finish strong.

Fagnano to Bell! The stories we'll be telling years from now about how we escaped the darkest reaches of the FBS.

 

[DoctorWho85]

Congrats. They absolutely balled out this year.

It's wild Donald Brown wasn't first team.

 

[Tdaley]

Agreed. This is second time I missed spelled Skyler's name on this site and was called out for it. I will try to do better. It doesn't change the fact that he has been a joy to watch.

Well which is ti?

UConn has had 18 players earn first or second team All-American status dating back to 1955 and Bell is fifth wide receiver in program history to earn the honor, joining Carl Bond (1997), Mark Didio (1990 & 1991), Glen Antrum (1988), and Reggie Eccleston (1980). Over the program’s history, 36 players have been honored with All-American first, second team or honorable mention honors.

I believe the differentiation is Associated Press First Team All-American. For example - I believe Donald Brown was a First Team All American by Sporting News.

 

[ConnHuskBask]

Incredible accomplishment. Great season and the best WR I've ever seen at UConn.

 

[Jetskies]

TOO MANY ALL AMERICA TEAMS - is this THE list or just ANOTHER list?
...given the names on the list, I will assume this is THE list, and if so... holy moly to see the uconn husky logo up there, surrounded by all those P2 brands (and at a SKILL position, to boot), is something my eyes never thought they'd behold, back when i started this sad journey in 2021 lol.

man oh man, I hope we keep going upward. pleaseeeee coach candle, don't let me down.

Congrats Skyler! Well deserved!!!

 

[Huskyforlife]

This should solidify him with the best season for a player in program history, right?

 

[Woof 101]

While I congratulate him on this achievement, I find it sad he has accepted the senior bowl invite. This while turning down the team that helped him get it for their bowl invite.

 

[giddyup]

Awesome. Now finish and be a legend.
