How former UConn football player 'Stack' Williams became mentor for CT's top players: 'Empower them' (Mike Anthony)

-> Connecticut youth football has long been an 80-yard Hail Mary from, say, that of Florida or Texas. It is not known for elite high school or prep competition or regarded as a hotbed for volumes of high-level talent.

That is changing, though. The state is becoming more fertile recruiting ground for top college programs. Supreme Athlete, a highly specialized program with many of the state’s best prospects under its umbrella, has played a major role in a shake-up of the recruiting snow globe, largely on the strength of Williams’ ambition and connections. <-

->Supreme Athlete, which offers very specific training and mentoring programs, is the most visible arm of Williams’ Supreme Being Inc., a 501c3 non-profit founded in 2012. The program now sits at the heart of a rather new development: major college coaches keeping an eye on, frequently visiting and pulling players from an area of the country they could previously afford to ignore.

So there's Stack posing with Kirby Smart of Georgia. There’s Stack getting texts from Nick Saban of Alabama. There’s Stack connecting with Jim Mora of UConn. Virtually everyone of any influence in the college football world is on speed dial.<-

Now that’s a missed opportunity… be interesting to watch the role/success. Fran Brown is putting an interesting staff together up there.
