Michael Conner III

Michael Conner III in the 8th grade set the area on fire as a starting running back and defensive back at Oakleaf Jr High. A dynamic athlete with top level speed, quickness, and agility, Conner routinely made dazzling plays on the field. That directly translated to immediate on field success as a freshman in high school, where Conner led his team with 578 yards and 3 receiving touchdowns including a rushing TD.

Conner is also an electric kick returner. In 2024, he ran a kickoff back for a touchdown against 2-time defending state champion Hawthorne. At mid-season he has 229 yards and 2 TDs receiving for Oakleaf.

Conner started playing football at 5 years old, playing for several youth parks including Oakleaf and Westside where he led his teams to championships. Along with football, this three sport athlete has also played basketball and will run track this year with Oakleaf Jr High. “Mike Mike” as he is affectionately known by many in youth football, will be a name known by many more in the high school for years to come.

He is a 5-star Duval Sports high school football recruit in Northeast Florida.
