UConn’s Jacob Drena: local QB with grit, depth-chart upside, and a comeback story
Jacob Drena is a Connecticut native and former Southington standout whose UConn profile lists him as a quarterback and former freshman contributor, with game action dating back to 2021 when he completed 2 of 3 passes for 15 yards against Houston. The big differentiator is his resilience: reporting around UConn noted he was rehabbing a torn ACL during spring work, which adds real context to his trajectory and toughness. He looks like a developmental fit if you value local toughness, familiarity with the program, and a QB who has already flashed in limited snaps.
