Chris Britton brings veteran linebacker grit to UConn
Chris Britton is a veteran Connecticut linebacker with a workmanlike profile: in the 2016 season, he played in 12 games, logged 7 tackles, and forced a fumble, with his best statistical outing coming against Tulane. He’s known more for steady, physical, assignment-sound play than splashy numbers, and his background as a high-tackle high school defender suggests a feel for the run game and contact balance. For a team looking for a reliable, tough-minded LB who has already lived in the program and understands the grind, he’s a fit.
