Connor Best brings decorated local-road grit to UNI’s offensive line
Best is a 6-foot-3, 290-pound redshirt freshman interior offensive lineman for UNI who arrived as a Cedar Falls product and a hard commit, and his profile is built more on steadiness than flash: he was a four-time Academic All-Conference selection and earned First Team All-Conference plus All-District honorable mention honors in high school.[2][3] That combination suggests a dependable, coachable blocker with the kind of discipline and consistency teams want up front, especially if you value intelligence, toughness, and developmental upside over immediate headline-grabbing stats.[3][6]
