Another OL who seems to have things clicking this summer and is heading for a breakout junior season is Kimberly OL Connor Bastian Connor Bastian 6'3" | 280 lbs | OL Kimberly | 2028 State WI . The big man has a fantastic frame for the interior of the line and the offseason weight room dedication was showing up his entire camp season. Just looking back at the clips you see that powerful lower body being able to bend and get underneath DL and then walking them off the line. It will be interesting to see if he can earn one of the starting varsity spots after spending time on JV and varsity as a sophomore. The big, strong 2028 matches the type of lineman that we see develop through the Kimberly program on a consistent basis. I’ll have my eyes on him this fall without a doubt.

Safe to say Connor will be a big riser during the summer update. The 6’2″ 280 lbs 2028 OL carries a 6’8″ wingspan. He sure looked the part of a next level IOL during his 1v1 battles throughout the big man camp. This offseason we have seen Connor max out at 470 lbs in the Kimberly weight room that has pumped out some freaky athletes. That offseason dedication has shown early signs of translating to the field. In 1v1 reps Connor was a bully. Between that powerful lower body and heavy hands Connor was mauling DL. In board drills we saw the real aggression and violence as he could drive DL backwards. Then in pass pro that lower body dominated as he easily set an anchor that DL could not bull rush through. Connor is growing a serious frame with violent power and verifying that he can get the job done on the field. I’m very excited for him to have his breakout year this summer/fall.
