Over Randy Edsall’s first tenure at UConn, his teams were characterized by a strong defense. Just four months into his second go-around in Storrs, the first full recruiting class is off to a great start on that side of the ball.
Since 2017’s National Signing Day in February, the Huskies have added three new defenders to the program: two 2018 commitments and a graduate transfer from Miami.
The first member of the class of 2018 came from UConn football’s backyard. East Hartford LB Kevon Jones committed in late February after his official visit.
