A skilled athlete who models his game after NFL safety Brian Dawkins, Santa Margarita (CA) Santa Margarita Catholic linebacker/safety Connor O'Brien tells eDuck that Oregon has long been a top choice for him.

I don't mind if he models his game after Brian Dawkins!



When researching this prospect, I found this article about the murder of the strength and conditioning coach of his ice hockey team, where he's a player and his father is the head coach.

Sorry.. Scout actually does have one picture of him without his helmet. This is a prospect that I knew about - for maybe 3 weeks - from Rivals, and I just did a picture search today. Maybe I was worried that he could be a light-skin?

Anyhow, the 247sports link is a good link.

The video starts out a bit slow, but gets much better.


EDIT: It might be wise to watch this video on youtube.. this embedded video gave me "irritating skipping" that doesn't seem to be on the youtube-site version.
