2024 UConn Football Commit - Jayden Bass (Springfield, MA)

Lundt did. Trial by fire which seems to be serving him well now -- he wasn't ready then but was the best we had. Van Demark did as well. He was light -- 260 or so -- but he was good even then and you knew he was going to get better, which he did.

Lundt redshirted his first year and COVID was his second season, so he was in his 3rd year at UConn when he first played.

It’ll be interesting to see what the roster looks like with all of the Transfers. Seems that we got 150 players.

Nobody is sayin a freshman never starts or never makes the 2-deep. It happens from time to time. It has happened at UConn. It just is not typical.

Welcome to the Dog Pound, Jayden!!!

Oline men often take a year or two sometimes 3 to really develop. Part of it is strength, part technique. There is a big difference between being 320 and in shape and being 320 and in shape to play oline in FBS football. Syracuse’ 2-deep is projected to have 2 RS jr transfers, a RS freshman transfer, 3 rs Sr transfers a RS sophomore and 2 RS juniors and a Sr. That is not atypical for the way a P4 builds its oline. Older, experienced players.

I have no idea where this guy fits in the overall scheme. But also note that Syracuse just got a new coach. He might be looking for a different type of lineman. He might have decided to bring in “his guys.” This guy might have just not felt comfortable with the new staff. Or he wanted to play closer to home or wasn’t comfortable in Canada. In any case I’m glad to have him.

Good answer!

This guy would have been a top score for us if he committed last year.

Glad to have him close to home and maybe next year he can take over one of the tackle jobs.
