Former UConn defensive back Jordan Younger is retiring from the CFL according to a tweet by the Toronto Argonauts.

Jordan Younger has indicated he is going to retire." - #Argos GM Jim Barker during availability today was the tweet from the team's official site.

Younger was one of three players listed as "suspended" by Toronto on Sunday.

Younger played in the CFL for nine seasons including eight with the Argonauts. He had 40 tackles and five interceptions with Toronto during the 2012 season and finished his career with 408 tackles, 19 interceptions and four fumble recoveries. He was a member of Grey Cup winning teams in his first and last season with Toronto.

Also, former UConn defensive end Cody Brown was released by the Montreal Alouettes on Saturday less than three weeks after he was signed. Brown was taken by the Arizona Cardinals in the second round of the 2009 NFL draft but injured his wrist during the preseason. He played in six preseason games with the Cardinals in 2009 and 2010 before getting released and never appeared in the regular-season NFL game despite getting into camp with the New York Jets and Detroit Lions. He was signed by Calgary in 2012 but was cut by the CFL team.

The list of former UConn players heading to the Canadian Football League grew this week as running back Andre Dixon was signed by British Columbia and Hamilton signed tight end John Delahunt.

They join long snapper Martin Bedard (Montreal), defensive ends Cody Brown (Montreal), Julius Williams (British Columbia) and Lindsey Witten (Edmonton), safety Jordan Younger (Toronto) and receiver/return specialist Larry Taylor (Calgary) as UConn products on CFL rosters.

Delahunt, who had 18 catches for 223 yards as a senior, becomes the ninth member of the 2012 UConn football team to make it into a pro training camp.

Former UConn star Jordan Younger had two tackles as Toronto defeated Calgary 35-22 to win the Grey Cup title.

It was the second Grey Cup title for Younger who was a member of the last Toronto team to win the Canadian Football League title back in his rookie year of 2004.

Another former Husky (Danny Desriveaux) is also on the roster but is on the injured list.

Former Husky Larry Taylor had a 42-yard reception, a 4-yard run, returned eight kickoffs for 208 yards and added 29 yards on three punt returns for Calgary.

The Canadian Football League just completed its regular season and a quick look at the final regular-season numbers shows two former UConn stars ranking in the top five.

Larry Taylor, in his second season with Calgary, finished fourth in the league with 1,583 combined return yards while Jordan Younger, who is in his eighth season with Toronto and ninth season overall, is tied for second with five interceptions.

Taylor returned 44 punts for 484 yards, had 900 yards on 44 kickoff returns and he brought back four missed field goals for an additional 199 yards with 125 coming on one spectacular return.

Both Taylor and Younger have helped their teams in the playoffs and both will be in action on Sunday as Toronto plays Edmonton at 1 p.m. with Calgary meeting Saskatchewan at 4:30 p.m.

It should be noted that there are four former UConn players in the CFL and all four are on playoff teams (of course six of the eight CFL teams qualify for the players).

Julius Williams is a defensive end who has two sacks for Edmonton while Martin Bedard is a long snapper or Montreal which received a bye into the semifinals.

It is worth mentioning that Kory Sheets, who committed to UConn but never played for the Huskies, finished as the second-leading rusher as he had 1,277 yards for Saskatechewan.
