Junior Day. It’s an important time where a program gets to show what they are all about to potential recruits and their families. On Saturday, UConn football hosted several players who made the trip to Storrs and by all accounts it was a success. There were a number of recruits from across the region that took part and the following is a breakdown through the eyes of the players themselves. In no particular order, here is a quick summary of each recruit that was present in Storrs on Saturday.

NOTE: There may have been additional visitors, but these are the ones who made it known they made the trip on social media.
