Lenny was a flash from the start and could always run. He did not have the height of his peers but made up for it with his outstanding athleticism. Offense, defense, special teams, he did it all in high school despite weighing less than 170 pounds.

UConn recruited Lenny and he came because of a chance to play early. Everyone underestimated him because of his size but he was a true playmaker. Came in as a defensive back but found success as a running back on offense. Along with Ed Long, Lenny was a perfect complement because he could get through small holes and once, he got to the second level it was over.

These day's Lenny has a family and a son who has division 1 talent. Not only that, but he is also brilliant like his father, Brock has a 4.3 GPA and scored a whopping 33 on the ACT. I don't think if you added both times, I took the test together you would get a 33. Brock is a dynamic running back for Delbarton, an excellent high school in New Jersey. He will have a home soon!

Mike Burton and his team have done an outstanding job with Bleeding Blue For Good, an organization raising NIL money for UConn. He is working non-stop, and I am not letting him go at alone. This is an important time for us, as we have a chance to join the Big 12 conference. We must come together and show the power UConn has, especially if we want to have continued success is sports. Please go to bleedingblueforgood.org and donate. If you can give $200 to $500 dollars it will make a huge difference and prove we can be dominant even in the NIL world.
