Lehigh RB Connor Hilling brings compact, downhill burst with upside in limited touches
Connor Hilling has flashed real efficiency for Lehigh: in 2024 he appeared in three games and turned four carries into 47 yards, including a 20-yard touchdown against Georgetown, showing the kind of quick-hit burst that can change a drive[1]. ESPN lists him at 5'8", 195 pounds, and his 2025 stat line is still small—8 carries for 19 yards—so the profile is more about projection than production right now[3]. He’s a good fit for a staff looking for a physical, compact back who can run with urgency and bring developmental upside rather than immediate feature-back volume[1][3].
