2026 QB Bo Polston decommits from Toledo, commits to UConn Football
For the first time since taking over, UConn Football Head Coach Jason Candle has added his first recruit as 2026 recruiting class, as quarterback recruit Bo Polston announced his decision via Twitter/X.
The 6-foot-2, 200-pound quarterback prospect hails from Indiana, where he played his high school ball for Decatur Central High School and originally chose to commit to Toledo back in May 2024 over several notable offers. However after coach Candle took the UConn job, Polston decided to decommit from the program and a few days after that, he decided he would follow Candle and join the Huskies 2026 recruiting class.
The Indianapolis, Indiana native also held offers from Akron, Ball State, California, Central Michigan, Georgia, Indiana, Marshall, Miami (OH), Michigan, Minnesota, Virginia Tech, Washington, and West Virginia..
As a senior this past season, Polston threw for 87-of-132 (65.9%) for 1,059 yards 11 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. He also ran the ball 72 time for 411 yards and six more scores. The year prior as a junior is where Polston really took off, throwing 158-of-248 (63.7%) for 2,069yds, 21 touchdowns and eight interceptions to go along with 301 rushing yards and seven scores.
As it stands, UConn Football now has five total commitments in the Huskies 2026 recruiting class and is ranked No. 139 overall in the country per the Rivals Industry rankings.
