UConn Football Releases Early Depth Charts

Like any sports team, especially one playing on such a high level, the UConn Huskies are changing their depth charts. Quarterback and Tailback, two of the most important positions on the offensive side of the football, are being looked over by UConn coach Randy Edsall.

Junior Zach Frazer has earned himself the starting spot at quarterback for this coming season. Coach Edsall told Courant.com Frazer had earned the spot, looking strong throughout the spring training, but also mentioned that, like all positions, any players can achieve the starting spot by proving themselves in all pre-season practices and camps.

Sophomore Jordan Todman took the starting spot for the tailback, with Andre Dixon, Kelmetrus "Meme" Wylie, and Robbie Frey are all competing to be his backup. According to Courant.com, Todman had an edge going into the spring camps. Todman was joining Frey on kickoff returns.

Edsall also said, "Some positions need to be solidified and there can be changes made to this before we have a game day depth chart for our opener against Ohio University on Sept. 5."

As with all teams, depth charts will be constantly changing depending on the ability and work ethic of the players, so there will possibly be changes in positions as the summer goes by, because everything done in the off-season leads up to the season opener and the games that follow.
