Recently I had the honor of interviewing 2015 LB Nick Conner from Dublin Scioto in Ohio. Conner is a very strong and powerful linebacker that hits like a truck. Conner is a very instinctual player and diagnosis plays better than most linebacker in Ohio for 2015. I look for him to have his recruitment start to get more attention and I could see Ohio State start to show more attention once they see a few games this year.
