Husky Talk- David Pindell

Husky Talk returns with former UConn Quarterback David Pindell. He shares a wild journey with us and was an absolute pleasure to interview. David never played youth football and started in 9th grade at a small school in Maryland that was not the best program. Not only beginning a new sport, but he was also placed at the most difficult position on the field at QB. In the offseason, he worked with his coach on watching film, along with mechanics necessary for QBs to have success. David has a tremendous work ethic and by his senior year, he led his team to an undefeated season, playing outstanding. He was a duel threat QB, able to run and had a strong arm to make any throw. Being recruited late, he ended up at Lackawanna, which is one of the best junior colleges in the country. He tore it up and did very well for them. Coach Randy Edsall recruited him when he was still at Maryland, when he took the UConn job in 2017, he signed David to go with him. As a Husky, David had a great senior year, throwing for nearly 2000 yards, 20 TD passes, along with 1,142 yards rushing with 10 TDs, he did it all. David went undrafted but attended minicamps as a Wide Receiver, Running Back, Kick/Punt Returner and did not make a roster. He made his way up north to the CFL with the Montreal as a QB, which is where he wanted to stay. COVID happened, the CFL did not play and David was putting his highlight films all over social media. Calls came in from Japan, where American Football has grown in popularity and there are a few leagues. After working out, receiving several offers, David signed and has been their ever since. I believe he will receive another opportunity to play QB in the NFL, he is too dynamic of a player and deserves another shot. Procyon Partners is our biggest, longest tenured sponsor of Husky Talk.
