2019 Roster & transfers

Matt lists a bunch of RS JR's that won't be returning. Hopefully HCRE finds some JUCO's or transfers that can push for starting jobs on D, he doesn't have time with the fanbase to suck that bad anymore. Here's the list of guy not sticking for their SR year that will open up schollies:
REDSHIRT JUNIORS:
K Michael Tarbutt
DL Kevin Murphy
DL Connor Freeborn
DL Phillipe Okounam
OL Brian Cespedes
OL Ian Campbell
TE Zordan Holman
QB Brandon Bisack


SENIOR DAY: Who Is Being Honored As Several Redshirt Juniors Will Be Departing Program

 
" Freshmen defensive linemen Eric Watts and Jeff Woods have also enrolled in classes as has running back Art Thompkins, a graduate transfer who rushed for 1,427 yards and 11 touchdowns in three seasons at Toledo. Thompkins, Watts and Woods will be able to take part in spring practice since they are currently enrolled in school."

It had been mentioned last week and he was listed in the 247 portal ( along with walk-on LB Rhakim Williams), but OL James Tunstall makes it official:

 
Regarding the roster:
"there is a chance for additions and subtractions to the roster before the start of preseason camp......... Edsall said there are four scholarship spots available and if a defensive end, safety, receiver and tight end are available through the graduate transfer or junior college route that they would not hesitate to add them to the mix. ........"

"With barely three months until UConn football’s season begins, coach Randy Edsall can’t say for certain what his roster will look like on Aug. 29 against Wagner. In fact, he said Tuesday at the UConn Coaches Road Show, the NCAA’s highly active transfer portal means he might not have final answers for a while. “It’s an ever-changing situation," Edsall said. "Our roster won’t be final until we go to camp on [July] 31...........the Huskies could use help: tight end, wide receiver, defensive lineman and safety "

Courant- Randy Edsall open to adding more players as UConn football season creeps closer

And another one bites the dust...QB Washington ..hmmm, I guess there was a reason Edsall brought in a 5th scholly QB last week...
( he said he only likes to carry 4 scholly QB's in a position breakdown of the 85 last fall)

Next man out- Keyion Dixon
Makes sense that he mentioned Diaco on the way out . Looks like Dixon ended up with one of Diaco's former Uconn assistants, Josh Reardon, who is now the asst HC at Eastern Kentucky. And since KD is dropping down to FCS he can play right away:

Journal Inquirer- UConn's Edsall not worried about recent departures

" Edsall said his team’s final roster for the upcoming season isn’t set yet, either. There are a number of recruits who could join the program before August....... “We’re still trying. I’ve got three more guys coming into today. We’ve got five coming in this weekend. We’ve had a lot of official visits,” Edsall said. “June’s a busier month than it’s ever been with the recruiting changes.”
