UConn quarterback Joe Fagnano confirmed he will not play in the Fenway Bowl.

The Huskies (9-3) will meet Army (6-6) on Dec. 27 at Fenway Park in Boston.

Instead, Fagnano told the Hartford Courant that he will be preparing for upcoming showcase games and the NFL draft.

'After talking with my teammates, my coaches, my family, we all agreed it was best for me,' he said. 'It stinks the way it ended. I would have loved to have played in a bowl game, but the way things are laid out now, some things just happen.'

On the season, Fagnano threw for 3,448 yards (sixth in nation) and 28 touchdowns (tied for seventh). He was intercepted just once.

He was a semifinalist for the Davey O'Brien Award and a three-time Manning Award Weekly All-Star. He was named a Group of Five second-team All-American.

Star wide receiver Skyler Bell, who earned first-team AP All-America honors, also is expected to skip the game.
