Dayne Shor, former Alabama OL, announces transfer destination

Dayne Shor, a former Alabama offensive lineman who entered the transfer portal about a month ago, has announced his transfer destination.

Shor, who was a class of 2022 3-star recruit, announced on social media that he would transfer to UConn with a montage of videos featuring coach Jim More, UConn highlights and clips from the Joker over the years.

Shor was a 3-star offensive lineman out of IMG Academy during the 2022 cycle. Per the 247Sports composite rankings, Shor was the No. 33 offensive tackle in the class and the No. 35 overall recruit from the state of Georgia (Alpharetta-Denmark). He was listed at 6-foot-6 and 295 pounds coming out of high school, and had a reported 35 offers.

Shor joins a program led by Mora, who was out of coaching and working as a television analyst after he spent 6 seasons (2012-17) leading UCLA to a 46-30 record. Mora replaced Randy Edsall, who stepped down in September.

Last year was UConn’s first as an independent, and the Huskies as a program have not had a winning season since 2010, as they’ve reached just one bowl game.
