Congrats to former Husky Tyler Davis on being selected in the 6th round by JAX. He gave it his all for 4 years in Storrs (with 47 recs & 7 TD's), coming to Uconn as a QB under Diaco and finishing his career as a TE.... his last season in CFB as a grad-transfer at GA Tech.....

From Yahoo Sports on which CFB programs coach recruits up into NFL picks:

" Also of note in the AAC, Connecticut has produced a surprisingly high amount of top draft choices (seven) relative to the program’s lack of on-field success. Temple and UConn were matched at seven by UCF, a program with a much more fertile recruiting base. "
