Loyola’s Leon Kinnard, who led the Dons to consecutive MIAA A Conference titles and is 19-2 as a starter, told DigitalSports that he has committed to UCONN for a full football scholarship.
“I went up yesterday morning, got there about 10 a.m., toured the football facility and walked around. I liked everything about the school, so at around 4:30 p.m. yesterday, I told them that I was ready to committ,” Kinnard said.
“I like everything about it. Coach Randy Edsall does a great job not only with the football team, but with the academic part as well,” said Kinnard. “He has people helping students. He keeps up with the students through the teachers. And they’re also offering me an opportunity that no other Division I school was offering, which is the chance to play quarterback.”
A 5-foot-10, 185-pounder, Kinnard said the coaches have told him that his versatility as a player could make him valuable at other offensive positions.
