The Rent opened in 2003, so 2018 seniors were 3-year olds. They have grow up with UConn playing "big time" football. Time for that to start paying dividends.

Welcome to UCONN, KK!

And I'm pretty sure Deleston went to East Catholic ... so this may be the first Hornet we've seen in quite a while!

Hopefully this will engage some of my students in the team!

Mike Anthony/Courant UConn? Easy Decision For East Hartford's Kevon Jones

>>Jones, who accepted Edsall's scholarship offer upon returning to campus Saturday, also credits the Supreme Athlete mentoring program in Bloomfield with helping him reach a point where he was deserving of an FBS-level scholarship. Supreme Athlete is run by Stanley Williams, a Weaver High and UConn graduate who was a walk-on player for the Huskies in 2004-05.

Asaph Schwapp, another Weaver graduate and the Connecticut player of the year in 2004 before playing at Notre Dame, is the program's honorary director.

According to its website, Supreme Athlete's mission, "is to serve communities by reaching and teaching our youth through academics and athletics. Our work focuses on the academic, social, and athletic development of our youth. We are committed to developing in our youth a positive self-image by providing them with an environment of mentors, tutors, and support staff who not only believe in our youth, but are also from the community and have successfully demonstrated the ability to excel at sports at the collegiate level while balancing family, education, and a social life."

Jones, who said he wasn't always on track academically or socially to receive a college scholarship offer, remains involved with Supreme Athlete, saying the program, "changed my life."<<

Scott Burrell was Hamden's QB in the title game.
