STORRS, Conn. - UConn offensive lineman Valentin Senn (Volders, Austria) has signed an NFL contract as an undrafted free agent with the Arizona Cardinals at the conclusion of the 2025 NFL Draft on Saturday night,
Senn wrapped up a stellar career for UConn in 2024. Coming to Storrs as a transfer from Colorado in 2020, Senn finished his Husky career with 41 games played while starting 38-straight games at left tackle over the last three seasons. This past fall, he helped lead the Huskies to a 9-4 mark and the team's second bowl appearances in the last three years.
Senn and the UConn offensive line led a rushing attack that piled up 2,590 yards, the second highest total in school history and ranked 23rd in the nation in yards per game at 192.7 yards per game. In the passing game, the Huskies protected the quarterback to the tune of allowing just 1.07 sacks per game, ranked 13th among the nation's leaders.
He joins his line mate Chase Lundt (Arlington, TX), drafted in the sixth round by the Buffalo Bills, and teammate Malik Dixon-Williams (Orlando, FL), signed with the Los Angeles Rams, in realizing their NFL dreams this offseason.
