The personnel wheel, especially under center, continues to spin wildly, with UConn the latest beneficiary of a present from the portal.
In a press release, UConn announced that Micah Leon has signed a financial aid agreement with the AAC school and is set to join the Huskies football team. The 6-5, 214-pound quarterback had spent the past two seasons at North Carolina State.
Leon will be on the Storrs campus for the football team’s summer program, which begins on June 3.
According to the school’s release, Leon will be eligible to play immediately for the Huskies in 2019. Including this coming season, he will have three years of eligibility to use.
Leon didn’t appear in any games during his two-year stint with the Wolfpack, but could compete for the starting job immediately for a Huskies squad that was 111th last season in passing efficiency (117.2) and 108th in passing yards per game (178.9) while they were tied for eighth in the country with 17 interceptions (Rutgers’ 22 were the most for any of the 130 FBS programs).
