Former UConn DB Mumu Bin-Wahad scheduling visits

Former UConn defensive back Mumu Bin-Wahad is working on his visit schedule for December. The Navarro College transfer is set to visit San Diego State and North Texas next month, his agent Noah Reisenfeld of Young Money APAA Sports told On3.

Bin-Wahad is also in contact with Utah, Miami and Virginia Tech. A former three-star recruit, Bin-Wahad previously played at UConn and West Virginia and has two years of eligibility remaining. He had a breakout 2023 season at UConn, tallying 34 total tackles with four tackles for loss. The 5-foot-11, 185-pound cornerback also forced a fumble and had a pick-six.

He didn’t allow a TD in 2023 on 291 coverage snaps and received interest from multiple Power Four schools last December, including USC, Miami, Michigan, Syracuse, Arkansas, Northwestern, Michigan State. Bin-Wahad was named College Football Network’s Defensive Newcomer of the Year among independent programs and landed on the site’s All-Independent second-team defense.

Coming out of Grayson High School in Atlanta, Mumu Bin-Wahad originally committed to West Virginia and played his freshman year with the Mountaineers. He saw action in five games in 2022, finishing with four tackles. He logged 40 tackles and three interceptions as a senior at Grayson, earning 2020 GACA 7A South All-State First-Team defense honors. The defensive back was a top-100 recruit out of the Peach State, too.

The transfer portal officially opens on Monday, Dec. 9, 2024. More than 2,800 FBS scholarship players entered their names into the NCAA’s transfer database during the 2023-24 school year. Removing those who withdrew or went pro, the final total sat at 2,707 transfers. That means roughly 25% of all FBS scholarship players hit free agency in one year.
