UConn football position preview: Wide receivers and tight ends

There is no position group on this year’s UConn Huskies that is as uncertain as the pass catchers. Six of last year’s top seven receivers are gone, due to either graduation or transfer. The leading returning receiver is Zavier Scott, who just moved over to WR from running back. He only had 228 yards on 33 receptions, but will have to be a leader this year for Randy Edsall and new offensive coordinator Frank Giufre.

At tight end, Tyler Davis is now at Georgia Tech as a graduate transfer. He had the most receiving touchdowns (6) for UConn last year to go along with 237 yards on 22 receptions.
