Husky Talk with one of the greatest cornerbacks inUConn Football history,Justin Perkins. He shares a spectacular journey from playing football in the streets, to little league, high school, not even starting until his senior year.He has the smartest mom in Florida, other kids being recruited who had no interest in the schools when coaches visited, Justin would bring home the questionnaires. Then she asked for his game film, made copies, sent them to the addresses with a Justin's name and info filled out.

It paid off, now college coaches were coming to watch him play,Lyndon Johnson being the first from UConn. Justin had a phenomenal game and was soon on the phone talking to CoachRandy Edsall. Justin didn't even realize he met Coach Edsall in the past when he was at Boston College because they recruited his cousin. Coach had Justin and his cousin over at his house for dinner.After, his cousin committed to BC where Randy was the Secondary Coach. This led to Justin's cousin having a 7-year NFL career which was crucial to his decision to commit to UConn. First, he was memorized by the snow, always wanted to try skiing and wasn't fazed by the cold. Second, he knew and believed Coach Edsall could get him to the NFL.

Justin credits Taurine Gray joined the staff as DB's coach and said the game slowed down for him like the Matrix. After an unfortunate season ending injury in 2002, Justin dominated in 2003 and 2004 with a combined 11 Interceptions with a number of pass breakups. He was preseason All-Big East 1st team going into his senior year, which ended triumphantly with theUConn Huskies winning their first Bowl game against Toledo. A dominating defense featuringAlfred Fincher,Moe Lloyd,Tyler King.Deon Mcphee to go with offensive firepower ofDan Orlovsky,Chris Bellamy, who could throw the ball all over or pound you in the run game.

Justin played a season in NFL Europe after going to camp with the Kansas City Chiefs, after his release, he was ready to move on from football. He currently lives in Connecticut, works for DCF which is truly giving back, doing Gods works, married with 3 kids of his own, he is also part of theHusky Investment Group and I am so proud of his success!

Husky Talk is back with hell of a guest, former UConn Linebacker @uc45official. We were teammates and I did not know his story, learning about what he is doing now is really special. Watch the episode, it's an amazing journey. a true story of resilience and success.
Cedric grew up in Virginia and didn't play football until he was in 8th grade. He played in the backyard but never had an opportunity to play as a youth and fell in love with the game when he finally was able to put pads on.
Cedric played at one of the best high schools in Virginia, but the staff was not as proactive about sending their kids to play college football.
Not being offered out of high school despite incredible statistics, he went to Lackawanna Junior College, one of the top JC programs in the country.
Cedric continued to dominate and in 2001, with Nick Graby, @ezracarey all came to @uconnfootball from Lackawanna College, making an impact. Coach @re122198 always believed in Junior College players who. Coach Edsall and Coach @coachtoddorlando changed Cedric's life.
He worked Construction before taking a leap with his Entrepreneural spirit and started his own company in New Haven, Above Average Transportation.
They provide underprivileged kids with rides they normally would be without. They have contracts with schools and different groups supporting kids to participate in sports or any club, which has made a tremendous difference in the community.

Cedric runs a Non-Profit Organization called the Future Leaders Academy. They work with adolescents on building life skills and developing leadership qualities.

All I can say is this was the most powerful, impactful. Husky Talk I have ever done. Samuel Dorvil is a walking, talking, miracle who is wise beyond his years. Probably the most amazing life story I have ever heard, Sam is destined for greatness and has already achieved more than most will in a lifetime.
I knew about Sam before the interview but I didn't really know him on a personal level. He blew me away with his stories of faith, careers, career changes, finding a passion in life for what you do and sticking with it. Sam helped me on a spiritual journey providing incredible advice from his own experiences, for that, I am forever grateful he went out of his way to provide guidance. This is an inspirational Husky Talk, and Sam is just a great human being. Instead of complaining, he goes out and makes changes happen through his actions. Sam has a wonderful family, with children of his own and he fosters as well. This is an episode worth its weight in gold.
