Abrams (Dover, DE) played QB in high school, but the staff sees him at wideout.    Last season he threw for over 1300 yards  and 13 touchdowns , and added 534 yards rushing and another 8 touchdowns.  He chose the Huskies over an offer from hometown Delaware State.

Sean McQuillan – ATH /TE 6’4″ 230 lbs Glastonbury, CT

Paul Nwokeji – OT – 6’5″ 250 lbs – Randolph,  MA

   

Wilbert Lee – S – 6’3″ 215 lbs – Brooklyn, NY

Zach Braziller, New York Post : “He’s one of the best athletes in the city. Does it all for Boys & Girls — runs the ball, catches it, kicks, returns kick, plays a great safety. Team went 2-7 last year, but wasn’t his fault at all. As a sophomore, he led them to the semifinals, the program’s first time getting that far.  He’s a phenomenal athlete.   The scouting services don’t rank him, but I wouldn’t worry about that.  They miss very good football players from NYC all the time.   Don’t be surprised to see him move to linebacker. I’m sure he’ll put on weight at UConn, and the kid has great instincts.”

 Adrian Amos - S – 6’0″ 195 lbs Towson, MD

Adrian Amos, a 6’0″ 195 lb safety from Towson, MD chose the Huskies over West Virginia and Temple.  It’s not every day the Huskies go head to head with the Mountaineers for a recruit and win, so this is a noteworthy addition.

Obum Obukwelu -DT/DE 6’1″ 255 lbs, Brockton, MA

Strong physical player who tallied 70 tackles and 7 sacks last season for BC High.  Chose the Huskies over Harvard.
