For most of UConn football’s incoming freshmen, they’re 18 or 19 and have just completed their four years of high school, some may have done a fifth year as a post-grad.
Then there’s punter Luke Magliozzi. He’s 23-years old, and hails from Australia. Instead of going to college out of high school, Magliozzi became an apprentice to learn the trade of plumbing.
“I was a full-time plumber as soon as I left high school,” he said. “I had an apprenticeship through a mate back home and did four years there.”
But after working for a few years, Magliozzi wanted to give something else a shot.
