It was the most-talked-about play from Darien’s 49-7 win over St. Joseph on Saturday afternoon.

In the second quarter, the Cadets’ Cam Ryan comes in untouched and sacks Darien quarterback Timmy Graham, who fumbles. Hudson Hamill, who was running a screen pattern, comes back and recovers the ball and returns it for a 20-yard touchdown that made the score 28-0.

Darien All-State Lineman Andrew Stueber Gives Verbal Commitment To Michigan

By Dave Ruden June 26, 2016

Two seasons ago, during pregame warmups at Greenwich High School, Darien coach Rob Trifone was talking with a group of reporters when he pointed to a player who stood out at the time only due to his size.

“His name is Andrew Steuber,” Trifone said. “Just wait, he is going to be something.”

Trifone turned out to be correct. Steuber, a 6-6, 295-pound tackle, made his way up the ranks, turning that potential into dominance. He caught the attention of approximately 20 schools that offered him scholarships. On Saturday, Steuber gave a verbal commitment to Michigan, exactly a week after participating at the school’s “Big Man Camp.”
