Video: UConn Football CB Jhavon Williams On Wearing #6

Just about six years ago (October 18, 2009), the UConn football program lost Jasper Howard when he was fatally stabbed at a party on campus in Storrs, CT.

Since his passing only a select few UConn football players have worn the same number #6 that Howard wore; Kashif Moore, Michael Smith and Jhavon Williams. Williams actually requested the #6 to show respect to Howard and his family when he got to UConn. He had originally wanted to wear #1.

Watch and/or listen below as Williams talks about what wearing #6 means to him.
