Three former walk-ons (two from the New Haven area) have been elevated to scholarship players: ex-Seymour High kicker Graig Vicidomino, OL Donald Thomas of West Haven and punter Chris Pavasaris of Needham, Mass. Well deserved. Pavasaris wound up winning the starting job last season, Vicidomino nailed a pair of field goals against Army when pressed into action for injured Matt Nuzie last October, and Thomas should see action as the backup to Immanuel Hutcherson at right guard.

Also, Edsall announced Deon Anderson and Donta Moore both had their scholarships reinstated after both paid their own way last semester.
