 Vision
One of the bigger backs in the class and difficult to handle. Runs a little high and limits lateral options, but he accelerates very quickly and always plays downhill. Runs through people, and there have been times when he has chosen contact over making a move. Has great length and eats up yards with fewer steps. Sometimes gets caught not being over his feet, which may result in missing a cutback opportunity. College-ready body--Burke Hayes


Biography:
Montrell Conner, nicknamed "Choo-Choo", has good size and speed and that has some thinking that he could be the one of the state’s top running back, linebacker or even strong safety prospects for 2009.

(Sr. Stats): Rushed for 1,961 yard and 19 touchdowns on 247 carries during the regular season/Class 5A All-State selection.

(Jr.) Named First Team for District 2-1A as a junior after rushing for 1,300 yards and 22 touchdowns. He says he has a 36 inch vertical jump.

Conner reports a 3.0 core GPA and is taking the ACT in June.

Conner: "I have a lot of power. I can run north and south and I'm just a big power runner. A lot of people say they like my strength (benches 335 pounds, squats 475) and how hard I am to take down. I can't be stopped.

"I do a speed program and we do tread mills, cone drills, run the forty, the ten, jump the vertical - basically everything that you'd do at a combine."
