UConn football secured the first few commitments of the Jim Mora era on Sunday, earning verbals from class of 2022 recruits Derek Spearman Jr. and Denzel Mountali-Johnstown. The Huskies also received re-commitments from Donovan Branch and Nathan Voorhis, who reopened their commitments in October after the departure of Randy Edsall.
UConn’s class of 2022 now sits at eight members according to Rivals, after a rash of decommitments that is typical when a coaching change occurs. The program hosted at least 10 potential recruits and transfers, and is likely hoping to add to the list from that group.
