Conner is an undersized linebacker who was a productive, thee-year starter for the Tigers. He is a tough, hardnosed defender who can be an explosive tackler on contact. He can get engulfed at times versus larger linemen. He doesn't have great lateral quickness and burst but does run well to cover ground in pursuit. He can be inconsistent with his angles and run fits and doesn't always show good instincts reacting as plays unfold. He tends to be out of position with initial alignments and footwork but gives great effort to the pile. Conner is a good football player who has size limitations and needs to develop his coverage skills and overall reactions to contribute at the next level.
