David Conner has been turning heads on the football field almost from the moment he first tried the sport when he was 6 years old.
“When he was little, I would say 6 or 7, he had got coined the nickname “Wild Man” by the coaches because he just was out there, he was just ‘Boom,’ hitting everybody,” his mother, Gillian Conner, said.
“When he was little, one of the parents came up to me and said, ‘Oh, he’s going D1.’ I promise you he was like 7, maybe 8. So, one of the parents told me he’s going D1.
