Husky Talk- BAMA
Husky Talk Returns with one of the greatest Linebackers in UConn Football History, Lawrence Wilson, AKA BAMA. The nickname was because he was the first UConn player ever to come from Alabama and boy did he sure play like it.
Lawrence grew up in Tuscaloosa, Alabama and started playing football at the age of 6, when he was primarily a Running Back. When he got to high school in 10th grade, he was switched over to play LB on defense and the rest I would say is history.
Bama was a speeding bullet, playing sideline to sideline, tackling anyone who had the ball. He came from an athletic family, so his father put together all his highlight films, Bama attended many college camps each summer in high school, but shockingly, he was not offered a single scholarship.
Luckily, one of those films went to UConn and they offered him the next day after watching him dominate. It was not easy coming to the cold of Connecticut, but it was sure easy enough for him to make plays on the field. He was part of two Big East Championships in 2007 and 2010, also was in the only graduating class in UConn Football history, that went to 4 straight bowl games from 2007 to 2010. As a freshman, he was an All American, while his junior and senior years he was named 1st Team All-Big East for putting fear into his opponents.
After being drafted in the 6th round and playing in the NFL several seasons, he is right back in Alabama where it all began. What a wild and crazy episode you want to catch!.
