When I joined the program last season and had a chance to coach Connor, the first thing I noticed was his work ethic and interest in studying his offensive assignments,” says Light, adding “he asked a lot of good questions as a sophomore, not just of the coaches, but Will Haskell too.” “Connor is a naturally real hard working kid. Monahan is poised and ready to take on any challenge, and his peers have taken notice.Įagles offensive coordinator Jordan Light had a lot of praise for Monahan when asked about his talents. “There is a little bit of pressure but the more I work with my coaches and players, the more we gain trust for each other, there won’t be any pressure in the equation,” said Monahan. With this starting spot opening up for Monahan to have an opportunity to showcase his talent, it also brings a certain level of pressure.Ĭoming off a season where the Eagles made the state championship game with great performances from Haskell, this pressure is to be expected.
“That is going to benefit me a lot this season.” “Working behind Will has helped me tremendously with my mental side of the game and how he handles tough situations,” says Monahan. Monahan backed up Haskell on varsity all last season, where he says he learned a lot.
This Eagles team has high expectations for Monahan, who head coach Christopher Rizzo says has all the “measurables, work ethic and attitude” to be successful. In comes Connor Monahan, a 6-foot-6, 190-pound quarterback going into his junior season. This is obviously a huge loss for the Ironwood football program, but the future remains bright. A state championship appearance and one of the best seasons in recent memory.Ī lot of this was due to the play of Will Haskell, a 6-foot-4, 200-pound quarterback who is now going to Mountain West program San Diego State University to be the Aztecs new signal caller. Last season was a great one for Ironwood.
