UConn Huskies College Football Preview 2021: Top Players
Best UConn Huskies Offensive Player
RB Kevin Mensah, Sr.
He fought the good fight over his career. The 5-9, 202-pounder was strong as a freshman and kicked it all in as a sophomore with 1,045 yards and six scores. He kept it all going as a junior with 1,013 yards and nine touchdowns, and he’s used a bit as a receiver. He’ll be the workhorse for the O with at least 200 carries a lock.
2. WR Cameron Ross, Soph.
3. WR Matt Drayton, Soph.
4. TE Jay Rose, Sr.
5. C Sidney Walker, Jr.

Best UConn Huskies Defensive Player
LB Omar Fortt, Sr.
There are a few good veterans to build around in big DT Travis Jones and defensive back-sized linebacker Omar Fortt. The year off helped Fortt to build up a bit to get to 212 pounds, but holding up was never a problem for the active hitter with 185 tackles in his three years. He’s not used much in the backfield, but he’ll get in on everything.
2. DT Travis Jones, Jr.
3. LB Jackson Mitchell, Soph.
4. LB DJ Morgan, Sr.
5. DE Kevon Jones, Jr.
Top Incoming UConn Huskies Transfer
CB Stan Cross, Fr.
The Huskies need as many playmakers as possible for the defense, and it’s getting a JUCO transfer who should be a good hitter for the secondary right out of the gate. The 5-11, 185-pounder from Iowa Central Community College made 45 stops in his one year, and now he should be an instant part of the rotation.
