UConn football adds a pair of Power Five transfers

UConn football added some much-needed depth this week with the addition of a pair of transfers from Power Five schools on Monday: Chris Shearin, a defensive back from Missouri and Dajon Harrison, a wide receiver from Texas.

Shearin and Harrison are the fifth and sixth transfer portal additions to UConn’s class of 2022, and the only members of their position to enter as transfers in the class.

Shearin played minimal snaps as a backup at the cornerback position for Eli Drinkwitz at Missouri, appearing in two games in the 2021 season and earning three tackles. He stands 6-foot-2, 195 pounds with a solid frame, and is originally from Suffolk, Virginia.
