Here are a few comments head coach Randy Edsall made after Tyvon Branch was selected by the Oakland Raiders with the first pick of the fourth round (100th overall)
“It’s great for Tyvon and great for our program. It’s also exciting to see the Raiders trade up to draft him because it shows that they really want Tyvon. It’s is exciting to see him selected by a franchise with such a great history and tradition and I’m sure he’ll do well with the Raiders.
“Tyvon is a young man who had one Division I-A offer coming out of high school and he is a great example of the good things that can happen if you work hard and take advantage of your opportunity. He has shown that hard work can pay off.
“To graduate in three and a half years and get drafted is a great testament to Tyvon. He has had a fulfilling career here at UConn with a BIG EAST Championship and two bowl games. I couldn’t be happier for him. The Raiders are getting a young man of very high caliber in Tyvon.”
