After sprinting to success as a Knoxville receiver in 2025, Conner will play this coming fall at PCM. The junior hauled in 28 balls for 454 yards and three touchdowns with a two-point conversion last fall. He contributed 14.5 tackles, 12 of which were solo stops. He averaged 18.8 yards on 20 kick returns. Conner impresses during his 11th-grade highlight video with the Panthers. On the first clip, he runs a hitch route. It looked like he would be dropped where he hauled in the ball, but he makes a guy miss with quickness and then breaks a tackle, which showed strength. The rest of the film reveals a broad base of skills that allow for versatility as a receiver, an attractive trait for colleges. His abilities also work in the secondary and would make him a special teams’ contributor on the next level as well.

Connor hauled in 25 passes for 259 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He added a rushing score as well. On defense, Conner delivered a couple of solo tackles and an interception. We can witness how he gets the job done when viewing his junior highlight video. Conner looks comfortable and is effective operating out of the slot. He uses his frame to box out defenders and runs crisps routes as another method to lose them. Conner can make people miss in the open field and has speed to sprint away from the opposition. He also would be a special teams’ asset on the next level.
