“It’d be a dream come true.”
That’s what NFL hopeful Connor Harris said about what it’d mean for him to suit up and run out of the tunnel for the Kansas City Chiefs one day.
Harris, an inside linebacker who grew up in nearby Lee’s Summit, chose to play his college ball at Lindenwood University of the MIAA conference, which has been described as the “SEC of Division II” football by many.
Mostly dominated by Northwest Missouri State and Pittsburg State over the years, the MIAA conference has had a team in the Division II national championship game in 10 of the last 13 years.
