UConn football transfers bring size, swagger to revamped secondary
UConn football brought in new faces to its secondary. Here are some of the players who can anchor the Huskies’ back line.
UConn's defensive secondary is set to grow in size and experience thanks to a group of new transfers. Head coach Jason Candle, known for developing defensive backs, is banking on the arrival of these new players to bolster the unit. Among the incoming players are Jayden Davis, a Fresno State transfer who recorded 37 tackles, a sack, and an interception last season, and Braedyn Moore, a Toledo transfer who made six tackles in 2025.
Moussa Kane from Duke and Stephen Miller from USC are also expected to make an impact. Freshman Shmar Akande, a three-star recruit from Florida, adds a young talent to the secondary. All of these players are expected to bring size, swagger, and a willingness to play aggressive defense.
