Current Ranking: #24 in New England, #1 RB in Class of 2026
Brooks Connors Brooks Connors 6'2" | 220 lbs | RB Williston Northampton | 2026 State New E from Williston Northampton School in Massachusetts solidifies his position as a top-tier prospect within the New England region with an impressive ranking rise to #24 overall. At 6’2″ and 220 pounds, his sheer size gives him a significant edge as a durable running back. His recent performances have put him on the radar of several universities, including UMass, Georgetown, UNH, and Old Dominion.
Connors exhibits exceptional traits, such as good power, balance, and acceleration, making him a patient yet aggressive runner. His ability to navigate through defenses using quick jump cuts demonstrates his instincts on the field. Significant film evidence highlights his blocking skills on the perimeter, showcasing a willingness to engage defenders effectively.
However, the film does lack exposure of his skills in the passing game, which would enhance our understanding of his catching radius and hands. Defensively, he demonstrates high-level aggression as a linebacker. As Connors continues to develop, his multifaceted skill set promises to make a significant impact in the 2025 season, ensuring his place among the elite recruits in New England.

2026 Running back Brooks Connors Brooks Connors 6'2" | 220 lbs | RB Williston Northampton | 2026 State New E from Williston Northhampton in Massachusetts is a man-child making noise.

Recently ranked inside the top 100 among 2025 prospects. Announced his decision to reclassify to 2026 and transfer to Williston Northampton. Formerly a 2025 out of Portsmouth HS in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Workout clips are worth a look, carries a cut-up build. Awesome production, even for New Hampshire’s standards. 1,100+ rushing yards, 14 scores, 13 TFLs at linebacker, can tack on 60+ tackles as well. Adding Lloyd is an obvious choice for the best WN acquisition this off-season, yet I’d argue the addition of Brooks Connors Brooks Connors 6'2" | 220 lbs | RB Williston Northampton | 2026 State New E as a two-way, top 100 prospect is equally exciting, especially when you consider Connors has two years to work with now. Rank would elevate if moved to 2026 today.

The Scoop: Connors played his first two seasons at Winnacunnet High School in New Hampshire before transferring this past fall to Portsmouth High School in Nh. The rising junior RB had himself a great 2023 season. He was recognized as a Top Perform several times during the 2023 season. After his productive season, we project his college interest will soon increase.

He is a new prospect name that has come to our attention from his weekly top performances during the season. He will be evaluated this off-season and his selection as an all-conference player will likely get him included in our new updated rankings release.
