Awesome - I like the upside in this kid.

 

[UconnFamily]

I might be a bit too excited about this one, but this kid is going to be a star. This kid does not get blocked. #huskyup

Yeah, his arms are massive for his age.

Charlotte Christian is in the same conference as my high school, they put out a ton of D1 talent every year, usually anywhere from 2-6 guys. My brother played against Ryan last year, actually ended up almost fighting him on the field. Kid is a high intensity guy, big motor. Love to see us recruiting Charlotte. Theres a lot of talent here.

We just got better! All the way from NC, another man just realized there is no place like Storrs, CT! Follow Ryan Gilmartin: @gilmartin20

Nice film. Seems to read plays well and then gets after it. Reminds me a little of a CT guy that played here not too long ago. GL Ryan and welcome.

A transfer named Williams ? For some reason i don't have him anywhere.

The only Williams i have is Donovan....but he's a HS kid, no ? Am i missing someone else ?

Billy Williams, the TE transfer from Northern Iowa.

Welcome to UConn, Ryan!

If the film I saw of him on 247/sport is an indication of this kids motor and skills ability, we are in for a treat when he gets to
Storrs. I don't know what the competition level is like for Charlotte Christian but, if it's on par with the top level in Ct. then we have stolen a good one from Carolina. Like UConn Family said, "This kid does not get blocked".

Welcome to Ryan and his family. Glad to have you.

Welcome Ryan. Can't wait to see you in blue!

Welcome to the Dog Pound, Ryan!!!

 

[Sportsman5]

Plays very hard, but if he is a legit 6'0, then he plays on a team of giants.

I don't care if he's 5'10". He's a Husky now and I'm more than happy to have him.

Welcome to UConn, Ryan! You made the right choice.

Still the best 6 years of my life.

 

[huskyblooz]

fantastic! Welcome Ryan! Love his HUDL film. What a motor!

Reminds me so much of a young Scott Lutrus. He can't be blocked, and you can't run away from him, either. Very athletic, good nose for the ball.

I remember seeing Lutrus in that first Blue-White Game in 2007, when he was the best player on the field, and thinking, who the heck is THAT guy?

 

[Duncan Idaho]

Looks to have a tiger in the tank. Welcome Ryan and family.

This guy is a stud. I taught him in 8th grade. He was a stud then. He's a 6" tall brick wall of explosiveness. All these plays in the huddle clip are against legit teams too. Not a lot of cupcakes on their schedule. Can't wait to see him suit up for the Huskies.

I wasn't saying he can't be. Just making an observation based on the film.

285 bench and 350 squat in 8th grade at 195 would help explain his strength and explosiveness as a junior

 

[31GuardTrap]

I am going to start calling him "The Torpedo"....NOW! You can jump on board if ya want.

I'll take that. Thanks for the insight.
