STORRS, Conn. – Four former University of Connecticut football captains will serve as honorary coaches at the Blue-White Spring Football Game on Saturday, April 16 at Rentschler Field. Kickoff will be at 5:00 p.m.
Matt DeGennaro and Mike Rembish, who served as captains of the 1990 team, will be with the White team while Sean Mulcahy and Uyi Osunde from the 2003 team will be with the Blue team.
DeGennaro remains one of the top quarterbacks in school history as he is still ranked second in career total offense, total plays, pass completions, pass attempts and passing yardage. He led UConn to a share of the Yankee Conference championship in 1989. DeGennaro was named the 1988 Yankee Conference Offensive Player of the Year and the 1987 Rookie of the Year.
A Union, N.J. native, he is currently the President of MPD Telesolutions, Inc., in Matawan, N.J.
Rembish played on the defensive line for the Huskies and remains among the top ten leaders in career sacks at UConn. The Linden, N.J. native was named Second Team All-Yankee Conference in 1990 and made 214 career tackles.

The Huskies won 13 of their final 16 games dating back to the 2002 season, including a memorable win at Iowa State to end the ’02 campaign – UConn’s first over a bowl-bound team.
