Kron played in 44 baseball games at UConn in 2023 and ’24, hitting .229, but has left the program and spent this spring on the football roster as a receiver. “If it is a tryout, he’s impressed us,” coach Jim Mora said. “(Baseball) Coach (Jim) Penders talked about him a lot to me and Drew expressed an interest in coming out and playing football again. You would not have known that it has been a while since he’s played football. He stepped right in and was really good and he understood the game, he’s competitive, he’s tough and he catches the ball consistently. Learns well. “I don’t know what his plans are, if tomorrow he’s out there hitting cleanup for our baseball team, I’m all for it. I’d love to have him back in the summer or fall. I like dual-sport guys. I wouldn’t mind our guys running track, go out and compete. That’s the best things they can do.” <-[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
