Marquise Vann (46) tries to help his teammates make a tackle during the 2014 UConn Football spring game at Rentschler Field.

As we know, UConn Huskies football coach Bob Diaco named his four captains on Thursday and amongst them was redshirt junior Marquise Vann.

Vann, the only junior of the four captains, saw action in eight games, three of those being starts, in 2013 before missing the final four with an injury. He ended up making 17 tackles on the season. He also scored a touchdown on a fumble recovery against the Cincinnati Bearcats last season.

Watch below as Diaco talks about Vann as well Vann’s reaction to being named captain.
