-> The University of Connecticut offered Whitaker, a 6-foot-2-inch cornerback, an athletic scholarship after an impressive performance at the University of Georgia camp this summer.

“I am excited to announce that I will be continuing my academic and athletic journey at University of Connecticut. I am looking forward to taking the next step in my academic and athletic career at the University of Connecticut. I envision myself contributing to the team’s success next fall. I also would like to thank everyone who has believed in me and helped me reach this point. A special thanks goes to my family, coaches, teammates and everyone who has supported me throughout this journey. I’m looking forward to the opportunities and challenges ahead,” said Whitaker. <-

Thought the name looked familiar when I saw the new post online, but I was not sure if I was merging two players. Glad Mora was able to re-recruit him!
