Ta’Quan Roberson to transfer from UConn

The former Penn State QB earned the starting job in two seasons at UConn but they didn’t go as planned or hoped.

UConn football’s starting QB for most of last season is entering the transfer portal. Ta’Quan Roberson announced on the May 1 deadline that he intends to switch schools this offseason.

Roberson was a four-star high school recruit who spent two injury-riddled seasons at Penn State before serving as a backup in Happy Valley and seeing some light work as a redshirt sophomore.

Roberson transferred to UConn under then-new head coach Jim Mora for Mora’s first season at the helm. A knee injury suffered in the season’s second drive kept him out for the season and on the road to recovery.

2022
Penn State will have its starting quarterback back for a 6th year, but with a growing quarterback room and an entrenched starter, it’s losing a young signal-caller to the transfer portal.
Quarterback Ta’Quan Roberson intends to transfer and will be putting his name into the transfer portal. He announced the news Monday morning via Twitter.

Roberson will have 3 year of eligibility remaining after 3 years with the Nittany Lion program. He made 6 appearances for Penn State, with 4 coming this season. He went 11-for-28 passing with 85 yards and a touchdown.
With Christian Veilleux taking over the backup job and Sean Clifford returning for his final year of eligibility, Penn State already has answers atop its quarterback depth chart even before winter conditioning gets underway. Add to that the incoming 2022 recruiting class, which features 5-star quarterback Drew Allar and 3-star quarterback Beau Pribula, and the Nittany Lions will have a full room.

Roberson was a 4-star prospect out of the 2019 recruiting class, per the 247Sports Composite. The New Jersey native was the 8th-best dual-threat quarterback in his class and the 274th overall prospect in the cycle.

He played for PSU, UCONN and likes the grey unis? Even Angel Hernandez could see that’s strike three on this young man.

Perfect QB2, c’mon kid, do it

He’s from Orange, NJ - how much more perfect does it get?

That’s an odd collection of teams

Probably has a lot to do with who is in need of a backup QB with field experience at this late date.

 

[djorange1989]

I don’t know if he has applied for a medical redshirt yet, but he should absolutely get one, his 2022 season was about 5 plays long before he sustained a season ending injury. That could help us since he would have an inside track to start here in 2025.
