Coach Lenahan's Comments: Connor was a last minute pickup for us and what a great find! He has an incredible engine to go with very good technical ability. He has the skill set to play centrally in the 8 or the 10 and the fitness and ability to move wide if necessary. I'm excited to see how his game transfers to the Big Ten as he has great potential to be a very good player.
