2022 UConn Football Commit - Jack Stewart (New Canaan, CT)

[UConnRock]

Several more scholarships available after recent portal activity

These acquisitions really ramp up the competition if nothing else, although I think it will be more than that. I don't even recognize this program when comparing it to the program a year ago.

Shea 1971. Pretty sure a few BY fans were in the crowd shots.

I would add U2's "A Sort of Homecoming" and Phil Collins' "Take Me Home".

I was at the Yale bowl in '71 when GFR was the intermission band for Yes. Did 2 encores as I recall (dimly). Felt bad for Yes, as I think the Yale Bowl gig was part of their first US tour. But they were a bit too "out there" at the time. Hard to believe now.

How many players have we ever brought in from New Canaan, even on the rebound? And it does touch on the differing program-building philosophies. One coach hired his kid, another coach hired another guys kid.

LEEEEETSSS GOOOOO!!

I was watching this concert on YouTube and saw a friend of mine stoned out of his mind at the concert. As far as our new lineman goes, the competition and experience should be of great value to the team. I love him signing with the Revolution!

Maybe just wasn't a good fit at Michigan or Jack is a late bloomer. Very happy Jack is coming home! Get in there and make them drag you off the field!

In-state transfer from an area where we typically strike out also coming from a high profile college. Optics here are glorious.

Not to mention that it adds to our growing keeping Connecticut kids home narrative.

Welcome to the Pound, Jack!

Read somewhere that he graduated in 3 years from UM. Congratulations to the young man on his hard work and determination in achieving that and best of luck in his next chapter with the Huskies.

Welcome home Jack. Some added depth on the o-line with possibly some immediate playing time with some rotations.

I'm thinking all that time studying may have taken away from football. Now that he's a grad student, he can chill and work on what's important.

-> Stewart is also the first New Canaan player to join the UConn football program since Rob Cooper in the late 1970s, before Lou Marinelli was hired as the Rams’ head coach.

“Seeing as I’m going to be going to a lot of UConn games, or at least as many as I can,” Lou Marinelli said, “it’s going to be great to see one of my players actually playing at UConn.” <-

 

[BlueandOG]

Welcome!! Happy to have you on the team!

I think it’s important we get players like Stewart right now because Fairfield County produces a ton of talent. Even if he doesn’t see a snap at UCONN it’s worth it right now at this stage. Hoping he can contribute a little while he is here. Trying to dig up information on why he wasn’t on the 3 deep at Michigan, thanks for those who responded. Maybe a switch back to OLine will allow him to see the field

Stewart had offers from all over D1 but walked on at Michigan, his New Canaan Offensive Lineman teammate Jack Conley was also highly recruited and IIRC ended up at Boston College. Needless to say, New Canaan had a great team the years they both blocked for QB Drew Pyne, currently enrolled at Norte Dame.

Hey, the kid was recruited/walked-on to Michigan
He's got size and wants to be at UConn - can be worse than that!!

Welcome Jack

Stewart was a scholarship player and did not walk-on at Michigan.

 

[giddyup]

UConn Jack. 100% proof we are on the way back from the wilderness.

I hope it works out, and I hope he is a late bloomer and becomes a difference maker. But he played zero downs at Michigan. Oh, and can somebody tell Lou Marinelli to STFU.

Another poster stated that before my post. I thought you guys knew everything.

You were the first and only one to mention he was a walk-on. Gotta own it.

I can't imagine a player who can't crack the depth chart on a 12 win 2nd/3rd ranked team having any sort of impact at a program that has had 10 wins in the last 5 seasons.

Oddly enough, my posts skip from 11 right to 13. My apologies to @CONN78SEJ .

You're probably the only one that doesn't have that guy on ignore.

There was another one besides gtcam’s post, it was mysteriously deleted not too long after someone pointed out the truth.
