Long, fast UConn DB with upside after a quiet freshman debut
In the 2025 season, Saxton Suchanic appeared in one game for UConn and recorded one assisted tackle, so the box score is tiny — but the tools are real: the 6'2" defensive back brings 85 speed, 87 acceleration, and strong length from a multi-sport background that includes track and field, where he posted 11.26 in the 100m and 23.44 in the 200m in spring 2024. He’s a developmental secondary piece with athletic ceiling, special-teams potential, and the kind of frame coaches like to mold.
