Tyler back with 1's
A few quick hits from Friday at UConn:
-- Quarterback Tyler Lorenzen is back practicing with the first team offense, coach Randy Edsall said.
"I don't know if it's sending a message," Lorenzen said. "He just wants people to peform at their best."
Lorenzen says he was glad Zach Frazer is improving.
"Zach's playing well and he's come a long way," Lorenzen said. "That's great for our team."
-- WR Brad Kanuch is "week-to-week" with his hamstring injury, Edsall said.
-- LB Lawrence Wilson, RB Robbie Frey and LB Greg Robinson all rolled ankles in practice and are "day-to-day"
-- Kashif Moore, D.J. Hernandez and Ellis Gaulden are the starting wide receivers as of now. Alex Molina, Mike Smith and Marcus Easley are the second-stringers.
-- Freshman Jordan Todman will play soon. “There will be a role for Jordan this year,” Edsall said Friday. Todman will probably return punts, might return kicks and could play some offense, too.
Todman and Smith are the only true freshman who are slated to play this season, though that could change.
"He can catch the ball, he can return the ball, he can run the ball," Edsall said of Todman. "He is an athlete. We'll try to put together a package where he might be able to aid us in scoring points through special teams and also on offense."
Todman might be the fastest Husky. He said he hasn't been timed in the 40-yard dash in two years, but would probably run a 4.3.
"That's the question. No one really knows how fast he is," Hernandez said. "We scratch our heads every day. He's explosive and fun to watch."
