Is he the first to be on the ballot from UConn?

I played basketball several times with John, back in the day, he could jump pretty good for a guy his size.

Can anyone confirm or deny the following? I remember Maine beating UConn and the QB saying words to the effect that Dorsey wasn't all that. The next year the same QB was sacked by Dorsey and never made it back into the game.

Yes. We need Dorsey in the HoF badly.
