About

- Journalism major at Indiana University
- Indiana University sports columnist for the Indiana Daily Student
- Native of South Bend, Indiana

A tremendous passion for sports and having my voice heard played a large role in my start at Bleacher Report in February 2011. After graduating from the company's summer writing internship, I was brought on board as the lead Notre Dame Football beat writer, which is the position I currently fill.

I also covered Indiana University Track and Field during the 2012 spring semester for the Indiana Daily Student. During the fall semester of the 2012-13 academic year, I served as the Indiana University football columnist for said publication.

Aside from journalism, I also have experience in the field of public relations, having served as an intern in the sports information department at the University of Notre Dame during summer 2009.

    Nice article, Connor, on ND-Michigan. One of mine from a few years ago. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/455885-the-notre-dame-michigan-rivalry-to-hell-with-notre-dame

    Please write something on the ND coverup of the T'eo story. How he meet her at the Stanford game, how the university got wind of the story and keep it under wraps, ND fans ripped Alabama in the lead up to the NC game , then this pretender gets blown out, coach Kelly is two faced in his remarks about this is the greatest job and pretends he would never think of leaving, now the best player on the team had a pretend girlfriend who did not exist.

    Please write an artical that will tell all those idiots that there will NOT be a race for QB #1. Brian Kelly didn't say anything about a QB race for 2013.

    Loved your article about why Notre Dame fans should root for Alabama in the SEC Championship Game. WOW. Does this mean that Georgia would have beat them by 6 touchdowns instead of just 4?

    Please do an article entitled:

    Five reasons Bleacherreport Article Titles usually have FIVE in them instead of Four for Six"

    Since most of the articles on bleacherreport have the number 'five' somewhere in the title I have to believe this is another one of those 'formula' posts, that are a response to your boss' demand for more 'filler' to attract new advertisers.

    Rather than you really have anything new to add. Forgive me for being petulant, but I keep seeing Bleacher's bragging on their authors and internship programs when they're becoming increasingly stale and repetitive.

    BTW>Congratulations for getting the words"Breaking Down" in another article, too

    Connor, as you know I'm a fan of yours. I recently read an article that I think should be put on the team stream but I wouldn't know how to do it.

    With 48 seconds left in the game I was prepared to say absolutely nothing about your claim that OSU would beat both Michigan and Purdue except celebrate with my best friend who is a Purdue alum; but Purdue showed once again how to (unbelievably)snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Now I have to comfort my best friend and explain to her why I've always said Joe Tiller was a much better coach than Danny Hope will ever be.
