Fairfield’s Connor Fowler was an all-league athlete in multiple positions for the Falcons last season. Although Fowler’s involvement at Fairfield does go beyond the field.
“I play two other sports, basketball and tennis,” Fowler said. “I’m also in two clubs which are the FFA and I’m a National Honors Society member.”
To prepare for game one, Fowler and the Falcons have put in endless hours of effort and production to get the season moving smoothly.
“This summer our team has been putting a lot of time in the weight room and have also been studying plays and making sure we’re ready when the season begins,” Fowler said. “If there was one weakness I would like to fix it would be my defensive coverage. I think our defense is an area as a team we can really improve this year and if I can get my past defense to be better I think that would really improve our whole team’s defense.”
Fowler knows the season ahead won’t be easy, but is still hopeful for a playoff run.
“This year I would like to get to the playoffs and just go as far as our team can go whether that be a first round exit or state champions I would be happy just to give everything I have,” Fowler said.
No matter how far the season takes him, Fowler is thankful for every snap he has had at Fairfield.
“My favorite memory of my football career would have to be just playing a game that I enjoy with my friends and teammates,” Fowler said. “I’m always having fun when I’m around them and I’m having even more fun when I’m doing something I love with them.”
