With early signing day just a week away, UConn football got two more additions for the 2023 squad, adding commitments from incoming freshman Teddy Williams and transfer Zakhari Spears.
Standing 6-foot-1 and 190 pounds, Spears is a defensive back who committed to Washington from Loyola in Los Angeles in 2020. He’s a former 3-star recruit according to 247 Sports and Rivals.
Spears redshirted in 2021 and didn’t make an appearance for those Huskies in 2022 before heading across the country to play for Jim Mora’s Huskies. Spears is Mora’s first dip into the transfer portal this offseason.
