Connor Shiflet

I’m a 2028 OL/DL at Lejeune High School in North Carolina, where I’m a team captain and two-way lineman. I grew up in a military family and spent several years living in Okinawa, Japan, where I played my first three years of high school football before returning to the United States. Growing up as a military kid has given me the opportunity to experience different places and cultures and has taught me how to adapt, stay resilient, and make the most of new opportunities. Outside of football, I maintain a 3.75 GPA and take dual-enrollment courses, and I plan to study mechanical engineering in college. I’m a Taekwondo black belt, play guitar and piano, and have run my own lawn-care business. Giving back is also important to me, and I’ve volunteered with Special Olympics in Okinawa and the Carolina Museum of the Marine. I enjoy working out, hiking, traveling, spending time with my family, and staying connected with friends around the world. I take pride in working hard, being dependable, and doing whatever my team needs from me.
