Dom Amore: These CT players unleash their passion for UConn football on special teams

Nice read on John Neider, Jackson Harper and Teddy Williams.



-> Neider was the Huskies’ special teams player of the year in 2024, a leading tackler. Harper secured a key win with the “hands team,” recovering an onside kick and he and Williams are returning punts during this year’s camp, with an eye on replacing TJ Sheffield, gone to the pros.

In other words, their willingness to do football’s dirty work is paying off for these three, among other in-state guys working their way onto the coaches’ radar. <-

Awesome article -- local stars finding their way on the local team. Good message to the local kids -- if you're good enough, you can play here, too.

Big fan of Williams as I saw him at Cromwell football and loved his game. He is not very fast but quick and tough. My kind of player.
