Expert Analysis

Connor reminds me a ton of former Country Day OL/DL Cade Wilhelmi. The measurables are a little different, but their physical play is very similar. I love his footwork, punch and ability to win reps with technique. When pass setting, he stays low, stays wide and is able to move laterally with tremendous balance. In the run game, he fires off low, initiates contact and can flat-out bury weaker defensive linemen. I am extremely impressed with his highlights from 2025, and will definitely be pounding the table for him over the coming moths. I would expect a productive camp season.

Here’s a rising sophomore that’s worth keeping an eye on. Starting with size, 6’0″ 235 makes for a solid high school offensive lineman, but with that height, Connor’s ceiling lies at defensive tackle.
First, let’s talk about his offensive performance. At 0:13, Connor shows an OK pass set and ultimately wins the block. In terms of offense, Connor really needs to work on his footwork and fundamentals.
Defensively, Connor has some good plays. His first highlights shows a solid getoff and a great TFL. At 0:30, Connor shows good anchor and ultimately makes a good play on the running back. The highlight at 0:34 may be his best highlight, as Connor shows good power and effort, almost getting to the QB.
Connor is still a raw prospect. There’s a lot of room for him to grow, but the trajectory is optimistic. I’m looking forward to watching his end of season tape, and I hope that Connor has a game-changing offseason.

I haven’t seen a ton of actual game film of Connor, but from a source I trust I have been told that this kid may be stepping into some big shoes quickly, and he has what it takes to do it. What I know of him is he is athletic, physical, and has a great frame ready to compete as he is already 230. He could really boom if he has what I have been told he has! Keep an eye out for Connor this fall to possibly blow up this season.
