Friday was the last official day for new players to enter the transfer portal, but that doesn't mean that the negotiating for roster additions is done yet. Players who remain in the transfer portal are free to sign whenever, and the University of Connecticut football program took advantage on Sunday, coming to terms with two new defensive backs.

According to reports from On3, UConn has added Moussa Kane, formerly of Duke and CJ Bell, formerly of Iowa.

A redshirt sophomore from Harlem, N.Y., Kane will have two years of eligibility left in Storrs. He's appeared in 18 career games, recording 10 solo tackles and seven assisted ones. He also had two tackles for loss in 2025 to go along with two interceptions and two pass deflections. 

His brother Sanoussi was a seventh-round draft choice of the Baltimore Ravens in 2024.

A Massachusetts native that will have all four years of eligibility remaining, he got into a game against Indiana this season but did not record any statistics.

--The No. 3-ranked University of Connecticut men's basketball team overcame a sloppy performance on Saturday to beat Georgetown 64-62 in our nation's capital. The Huskies are 18-1 on the season and a perfect 8-0 inside Big East play and will likely move up in the latest AP Top 25 poll, which will be released on Monday.

--The No. 1-ranked UConn women will take on Notre Dame on Monday night at 5 p.m. ET at Gampel Pavilion. Notre Dame has won three consecutive contests against the Huskies and were ranked No. 23 in the most recent poll. A new poll also comes out on Monday on the women's side.
