When you think of the Sayreville Bomber’s brand of football, you typically think of though, gritty, blue-collar players with undertones of dynamism to them. Combo lineman Connor Walsh Connor Walsh 6'2" | 230 lbs | OL Sayreville | 2024 State NJ must bleed Bomber blue then, because he embodies all of those traits. Starting at RG Walsh was a big contributor all season long. He also played both DE/DT spots, tallying 34 tackles, 4 TFL, and 1 FR. Walsh also wrestles for the school.
As a defender, Walsh’s signature is his quick, sudden, and explosive get off. He reacts to movement so well and starts working into the backfield in a hurry. He is very strong, tossing offenders away like discarded trash using solely his upper body strength. He does a nice job of extending his arms and ripping into gaps. When squeezing, he gains appropriate depth in the backfield and will not allow the OL to get free releases to LBs – he gets his hands on them and disrupts their path. When pass rushing, he relies on his get off to have the OL on their heels and off balance in a hurry. His signature move to get past them is the swim move.
As an offensive linemen, he is a nasty young man. He constantly buzzes his feet, which you will see allows him to win stalemates at the LOS. He correctly check pulls on power and keeps his feet moving through contact on kickouts, demolishing anyone in his path.
I would like to see Walsh add to his pass rush by developing secondary moves. He also should look to improve his hips to get skinny when knifing into the backfield. Offensively, he must remember to fight with his hands for inside leverage when drive blocking.
With Walsh and a bevy of other juniors on the rise, Sayreville will be a tough out this coming fall.
