After being named an honorable mention all-league safety a season ago, Oxford football’s Connor Commerford is a big reason for the fast start from the Wildcats this season.
Commerford is a running back and safety who has been playing football since he was in third grade and now as a senior, he wants to make a deep playoff run.
As a senior and team captain, Workman is known for being an excellent communicator who leads with confidence. His versatility on the field allows him to excel in various situations, making him a reliable player that his teammates can count on. Despite past challenges, his leadership and resilience are stronger than ever.
“I believe my ability to read the field and play physical football helps me to stand out as a player,” Commerford said. “I also believe I am good at being a leader in crucial moments and helping to support my teammates.”
Commerford rushed for 10 touchdowns and had three interceptions a season ago but that doesn’t satisfy him. He knows he wants to be a lot better for his final year.
“I would like to make first-team all-league as a safety in the SCBL and possibly all-league on the offensive side as well,” Commerford said. “As for my team, I believe we are a strong contender in 8-man division 1 and a strong contender to win our district. I know if we continue to play physically and execute as well as we can, we should make a deep state playoff run.”
