Wow, Huge pick up!

We now have a legit 4 QB competition for the starting job next year (assuming Tyler Phommachanh is healthy) and some much needed ready to play depth.

This is AWESOME

Huge pick up for Mora and Co. Gives us added depth and that mobility we need to run the modern day offense. I'm pumped. If Puma isn't ready, I think it's Ta'Quan's job to lose.

Real QB competition between Steve K, Tyler P, Cale M, and TaQuan R.

We need a spring game to see these guys in action.

Realistically with Tyler's injury we won't be seeing him til October. At this point with his mobility, I think it's Ta'Quan's job to lose.

This great news. We now have a base of legitimate quarterbacks who will push each other this off season. It will also help attract wide receivers and tight ends.

Interesting HS notes from his PSU Bio
“Rated a four-star recruit by ESPN and Rivals and a three-star prospect by 247Sports...Rated as the No. 16 dual threat quarterback and No. 11 prospect in New Jersey by 247Sports...Ranked as the No. 200 overall prospect, No. 10 dual threat quarterback, No. 21 player in the region, No. 4 recruit in New Jersey by ESPN...Ranked No. 9 dual threat quarterback and No. 8 recruit in New Jersey by Rivals “

 

[Coach J]

He becomes the UConn's highest rated recruit ever, it didn't take JM long to jump over that bar.

This is great news. This s the type of QB that fits the offense that Mora said he wants to run. I was puzzled by the Millen commitment because he sounds more like a pro style QB.

Roberson sounds like a perfect fit.

Welcome aboard Taquan!

A couple more OL and a pass rusher changes everything for this team. Go Coaches!!!
And welcome Taquan!!!

Millen isn't a pro style QB. The dude played special teams...

What's happening to UConn football is almost too much take. To go from cold and numb to "Sweet Baby Jesus!!" is jolting.

 

[Timking124]

Let's Go!!!!. So pumped for this commitment.

How much eligibility does he have?

 

[Brochacho]

This is cool.

Land another OL or 2 and this offense can put it up with the big boys.

To me, it seems that Steve K is fighting an uphill battle for QB3, entering Spring practice.

Of course, this is basically because he is the only one to indicate his ceiling at this point.

I’ve only seen him listed as pro style. At least that’s how rivals listed him. Would love if he was dual threat.

Roberson played a lot vs Iowa this year when Penn State's starter went down. The Roberson highlights start at 6:48.

Talented dual threat QB on display. This is a huge get.
