David Ryslik is a defensive tackle from Hightstown, New Jersey. Checking in at 6’4″ and 295 lbs, Ryslik is a 3-star recruit being pursued by the likes of Temple, Syracuse and of course UConn. And that is where our story begins.
Official visit to UCONN this week #Huskies

Turn up, baby. Ryslik certainly seemed excited about visiting Storrs in late January. Two days later, he was on his way.
Omw to UConn

But then disaster struck.
Nothing better than totaling your car on your way to UConn

That sucks. However, on the road of life, there will be challenges. Would Ryslik quit? Would he turn around and go back to New Jersey?
But we still gonna get to UConn
— David Ryslik (@DRyslik_77) January 30, 2015
He would not.
UCONNNNN

Unconfirmed reports say Ryslik tamed a pack of feral animals, carved a sled out of a downed tree and mushed his ragtag ensemble through the tri-state area until he reached the safe harbor of UConn. Still though, it feels like we need a happier ending.
Blessed to say that I have officially commited to play football at the University of Connecticut #Huskies #Uconn #DLinePride

Perfect. Congratulations Mr. Ryslik, and welcome to Storrs. May your on-field ventures be less harrowing than your official visit.
