Nashua's Billy Ferriter, who was an outfielder on the University of Connecticut baseball team, has switched sports and has joined the UConn football program as a walk-on.
Ferriter was a quarterback and defensive back at Nashua South. He's trying to make the UConn football team as a defensive back and special teams player.
Ferriter was New Hampshire's Gatorade Player of the Year for football in 2008, when he completed 99 of 159 passes for 1,012 yards, and rushed for 1,269 yards and 21 TDs. Ferriter was also the starting quarterback for New Hampshire when it beat Vermont, 42-0, in the 2008 Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl.
