<--probably would have more interest if he played at a higher level.

Moz Bici - LB at Suffield Academy which was a loaded team this year. 6'0 200lbss. PG year after graduating from Greenwich in 2019. Plenty of motor and passion seen on the field. Looks like a special teams ace. Might be an undersized weak side LB at FBS. Was CT player of the year in 2019.

Mozi Bici PG Full Year Highlights

Bici looks to play with a lot of speed at the LB position. For his size, he really hits with some authority. Has a nose for the football and a knack for knocking the ball loose. His film shows him forming quite a few fumbles. Reads and reacts and plays with good instincts.

Gopie looks like a baller too.

There is a lot of undiscovered/underrecruited talent in CT Isn't there?!

LOL...

First surprise:

First surprise:

I was looking into him seemed like he didn’t get as much playing time this year on a crowded Saint Thomas Aquinas team ....has speed

 

[BNich]

First surprise:

A lot of big time football players come out of that program. Looks like a definite return specialist at the very least. SPEED to burn too. Bring on the Florida boys!!

Brewton doesn’t seem to have much of any twitter presence. Highly possible he was one of the commits that was announced, but never was able to be confirmed.

Excited to see how they utilize that speed.

 

[BNich]

Darius Bush next up!!

Bush and Brewton are wonderful surprises.

Rivals has Brewton being offered by BC, Mizzou and Southern Miss.

Any info on Zach Early? Is he the same guy that committed to Cincy last year?

I believe it was Kent state, not cincy

Based on his twitter account with the amount of Cincy stuff I would say yes. He is from Perry, OH. Went to Perry High School.

Thanks to Ktuck for the info on that one.

 

[Pudge]

Zach Early committed to both

this is a story & clearly we shall see

 

[BNich]

With Walker signing, just waiting on two, Wyant (CA) and the Long Snapper.

Saw that he committed to Kent St., but decided to go to Cincy as a PWO. Unclear whether he matriculated at Cincy or was part of the football team.

 

[formerlurker]

Local kid with sub 4.5 speed. Would be a great PWO....or might benefit from a gray shirt.

I watched him against Brookfield this year and he was by far the best player on the field in my opinion.

Whatever the case may be, dude's a UConn Husky now... I'm glad

Looks like a bruising mauler too.

I believe it was Kent state, not cincy

I think Early had the Kent State offer, but decided to go the WO route at Cincy...not sure he ever set foot on campus at Cincy however. He's really a 2019 kid. Based on twitter activity, it appears he visited right after the season ended and sometime over the weekend or so he changed his twitter profile to note "UConn Commit."

 

[Exit 4]

Not that it matters - we took Wyant (sign soon buddy)

 

[UConnRock]

Brewton is undoubtedly pegged as kick and punt returner based on highlights. Ran an under 11 second 100M in track. Could see the field as a freshman returner with the departure of Skanes.

[ktuck911]

Looks like a bruising mauler too.

One thing I think we'll see going forward is a team that will win some short yardage battles up front... We had size, but that dog across the LOS in situations like this lacked BIG TIME...
