Hakeem Kashama brings size, power, and veteran edge off the Connecticut front
Kashama is listed by UConn at 6-4, 279 pounds as a senior defensive end, giving him the frame and trench presence coaches covet on the edge[2]. He’s been described as athletic and highly talented, with a reputation for making an immediate impact in practice and handling a starter’s workload, but injury history has been part of his story[3][5]. The appeal here is the blend of physicality, experience, and disruptive upside; the caution flag is durability and the need to prove he can stay on the field consistently[3][5].
