Another 2028 Huntington OL to know is Tommy Conner IV. He finds himself in a similar situation to teammate TC Vaughn heading into the season. Conner spent much of last year starting at left tackle on the JV squad and now has an opportunity to compete for varsity snaps with several spots opening up along the offensive line. What stands out about Conner is that he has the athleticism to potentially stay at tackle as he moves up the ladder, which always carries value. Like Vaughn, much of his evaluation is based on projection at this point, but the foundation is there. The offseason is an important one for Conner as he prepares for the jump in competition, and Huntington’s coaching staff will be looking for players ready to seize those opportunities. If Conner earns a starting role and translates his success from JV to AAAA varsity football, his stock could rise quickly over the course of the season.

Huntington’s Tommy Conner IV Tommy Conner IV 5'11" | 240 lbs | OL/DL Huntington | 2028 State WV is another young big man prospect in the Highladers’ ranks who showed potential and upside during Saturday’s camp. He’s expectedly raw as a player as he wraps up his freshman year of high school, but Conner will be developed well at a program known for producing high-level big men prospects. Conner has upside on both sides of the line, but worked as a defensive lineman at the Combine Series and flashed potential. He got reps at offensive tackle last season on the Highlanders’ younger squad, showing he has the early footwork to play in space with further development coming as he gets older.
