D.J. Shoemate looks to be the workhorse in the UConn backfield, but it appears like incoming freshman Deshon Foxx will get every opportunity to see the field as head coach Paul Pasqualoni has not stopped raving about his speed and agility.

Shoemate could be the next in a long line of 1,000-yard rushers for the Huskies with Foxx adding a nice change-of-pace.  Foxx has limited fantasy potential as a freshman but will be one to watch next year.
