Junior college quarterback Chandler Whitmer (El Dorado, Kan./Butler Community College) has made it back to the place he wanted to be.
After transferring from the University of Illinois and enrolling at Butler, Whitmer hoped one day he would be an FBS quarterback again. On Wednesday, Whitmer said his second chance will take place on the east coast. The 6-foot-1, 200-pound sophomore said he verbally committed to Connecticut.
Whitmer, who played his high school ball in Downers Grove, Ill., chose the Huskies over Memphis, Kent State, Texas State and Murray State. UConn and Memphis were his frontrunners, and both schools were neck and neck for the majority of Whitmer’s recruiting process.
