On Monday, UConn football announced three captains for the 2019 season, moving away from the leadership council.
Redshirt senior offensive tackle Matt Peart, redshirt senior linebacker Eli Thomas and redshirt sophomore punter Luke Magliozzi received the honor, announced in a tweet by head coach Randy Edsall.
Peart has been an anchor on the offensive line the last three seasons, starting all 36 games the Huskies have played since his redshirt freshman year. Last season, he helped pave the way for two 1,000 yard rushers in David Pindell and Kevin Mensah, who were the first duo to reach the mark since 2009.
