LAS VEGAS, Nevada- University of Connecticut defensive lineman Travis Jones (New Haven, Conn.) was selected in the Third Round of the NFL Draft on Thursday night by the Baltimore Ravens as the 76th overall pick.
Jones becomes just the 13th Husky selected in the first three rounds of the draft.
Jones began turning heads at the 2022 Reese's senior bowl, which in turn earned him an invite to the 2022 NFL Draft combine.
Jones finished his senior season playing in 11 games for the Huskies, totaling 47 tackles while facing a steady diet of double-teams from opposing teams. 7.5 of those tackles were for loss and he also posted 4.5 sacks.
Travis Jones became the 43rd UConn player taken in the NFL draft and is the latest draft pick since Matt Peart was selected by the New York Giants with the 99th overall pick in 2020.
