In an exciting turn of events, the University of New Hampshire (UNH) has produced its first drafted player in a decade. The talented prospect hailing from Westhampton, New York has made history by being selected in the draft, putting UNH back on the radar of professional football.

With exceptional performances throughout his collegiate career, the Westhampton native established himself as one of the top FCS prospects in his draft class. His impressive statistics speak for themselves, as he led in all-purpose yards in both 2022 (194.3) and 2023 (209.5). In addition, he notched an impressive 43 total touchdowns during his time on the field, showcasing his versatility and impact as an offensive player.

The UNH standout did not confine his contributions solely to offense. He also made a significant impact on special teams, displaying his speed and agility. With an average kick return of over 31 yards and a punt return average of over 11 yards in 2023, he proved to be a force to be reckoned with in the return game.

Now, after a decade of waiting, the university can once again celebrate as this talented individual begins his journey in the world of professional football. His selection in the draft not only highlights his own abilities but also puts UNH back on the map as a breeding ground for promising football talent.
