The commitments continue to come in for UConn football as running back Khyon Gillespie becomes the second commitment of the day for the Huskies.
A native of Hartford, CT, Gillespie is listed at 6-foot-1, 175 pounds. A two-way player at Capital Prep, Gillespie will most likely play running back at UConn. During his junior season, he ran for 1,750 yards on just 167 carries, a ridiculous 10.5 yards-per-carry average. He found the end zone 22 times and surpassed the 100-yard mark in 10 games.
Gillespie is the third Connecticut native to commit to UConn in the class of 2018 joining Dillon Harris and Kevon Jones, both linebackers.
