Welcome to uconn James. !

Sweet. There was an unexpected one! I hadn't heard anything about him until now. Got great size. Is he going to be an offensive guy or defensive guy?

Same high school as Charlie Villanueva.

Welcome to UCONN James!

Welcome James! Another kid with great size! Looks big and powerful on video. I wouldn't be surprised if he enters our conditioning program to put on some weight to move inside on the DL. Would be a great athletic DT at 6' 5" and around 290/300 lbs!

Aren't they a little shy on TE's? If he has a good set of hands.... has the size to block.... could be a keeper on the offensive side.

Looks a little slow for DE. But looks strong and good tackler

Looks a little slow for DE. But looks strong and good tackler

My impression as well. Probably ticketed for the offensive line.
