Good news... I thought he'd be tempted with all the DBs that are committed already... Shows this kid isn't afraid of competition...

Got ya. I didn't even know he was from FL. Looks like a pretty good prospect. I like the depth HCPP has added to the secondary and LB's. A lot of big bodies and good tacklers which is something the defense, IMO, struggled with at that level. Depth with keep guys fresh and help the defense play at their best hopefully the full 60 minutes.

the kid is a player, he will surprise a lot of people with his speed.

That's what I like to hear. Just looking at him brings back memories of watching Matt Edwards on film, except he made virtual no on field contributions. Hoping MeM can be a difference maker out there.

That's really good news. The kid is committed to come to storrs ready to compete for playing time. I like the attitudes and confidence some of these young guys have.
