UConn DB Jalen Brown brings JUCO production and early-season activity
Jalen Brown enters the 2026 season as a sophomore defensive back for UConn after transferring from City College of San Francisco, where in the 2025 season he logged 22 tackles, 2 tackles for loss, 3 pass breakups, and a 63-yard kick return in eight games. He’s a compact, 5-foot-11, 174-pound defender with active special-teams value and a versatile background that hints at toughness, urgency, and a willingness to do the gritty work. Early in 2026, he has already appeared on the stat sheet, which is a good sign for a transfer trying to carve out a role fast.
