Flipped from UPenn to Lehigh…

Connolly is one of the most physical face-off specialists in the Class of 2026. He does a tremendous job of using his brawny frame and strong hands to overpower opponents at the dot. When the action gets chaotic on a face off, those same assets help Connolly hold off his opponent until he can locate the ball and secure possession. Connolly also excels at clean pick and pops that send him racing into the offensive end. His solid build and speed enable Connolly to rumble through significant contact on his way to the net. Connolly is a threat to shoot or distribute on the run and he rarely holds onto the rock too long.
