The first-ever early signing period for football began on Wednesday as UConn secured National Letters of Intent from players across the country, even in-state products like Oneil Robinson.
He played at Capital Preparatory Magnet School alongside fellow signee Khyon Gillespie and, like Gillespie, committed in June. Robinson starred at receiver and defensive back in high school and will be playing defense for the Huskies.
Robinson has decent size, listed at 6-foot-3 and 177 pounds with room to gain muscle and that could be an asset. The Huskies were quite notably in the market for help in the secondary and gave many youngsters on the roster playing time.
