OFFICIALLY COMMITTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICIT
Highsmith threw for 712 yards and seven touchdowns and rushed for 2,056 yards and 24 touchdowns as a senior. He had five 200-yard rushing games as a senior including a season-high 280 yards in a loss to Notre Dame (West Haven) in the state playoffs. He also had an interception against Simsbury and two fumble recoveries against Bristol Central.
He will head to UConn as a preferred walk-on, the fourth known in-state player opting to accept offers to join the Huskies as a non-scholarship player joining Fairfield Warde quarterback Brandon Bisack, Naugatuck receiver Bryan Coney, Wilton linebacker/tight end Jack Dexter. Gunnery tight end/defensive end Luke Sowa, a New Jersey native, is also accepting UConn's offer to be a preferred walk-on according to a post on his official Twitter account. It's a pretty good collection of in-state walk-ons. Bisack passed for 2,585 yards and 22 touchdowns as a senior, Coney had 52 catches for 1,171 yards and 20 TDs during 2014 season while Dexter had 60 tackles.
