Former Penn State quarterback TaQuan Roberson has found a new home.
Roberson, who entered the transfer portal around mid-December, has decided on the University of Connecticut as the place where he’ll continue his college football career. He announced this in a brief tweet sent early Tuesday afternoon.

Roberson came to been state with a four-star rating by 247Sports’s composite recruiting. In three seasons in State College– with 2020 being a redshirt year– Roberson appeared in four games, completing 11 passes in 29 attempts with a touchdown and two interceptions.

In 21 attempts, Roberson completed just seven passes and threw two interceptions, as Penn State couldn’t hold a 17-3 lead and lost 23-20.
The decision for Roberson to transfer comes as no surprise. Had he stayed at Penn State, he would have been in a crowded quarterback room. Even without Roberson, Penn State could have as many as four quarterbacks under scholarship, assuming soon-to0be sophomore Christian Veilleux doesn’t enter the transfer portal.
