Quarterback Dan Orlovsky of Shelton was named the most valuable player as the University of Connecticut football team held its annual awards banquet Sunday on campus.
Orlovsky set nearly every UConn single-season passing record in 2003 and was a prime reason the Huskies finished 9-3 and were ranked seventh in the nation, averaging 477.5 yards, and 10th in passing at 297.9. Wide receivers Shaun Feldeisen and ONeil Wilson were named co-offensive players of the year, and end Uyi Osunde was named defensive player of the year.
Adam Coles received the special teams player of the year honor.
