“Conor is the best C-2 running back that we’ve played against in my 24 years as a head coach. He’s strong, fast, explosive and he has the ability to make kids miss and score from anywhere on the field. He’s obviously in great condition as well since he’s expected to run the ball 30 to 40 times per game. He also seemed to have great sportsmanship when we played them.”

Athletic Excellence

The 6-foot-1, 215-pound senior running back rushed for 2,956 yards and a Class C2-record 50 touchdowns this past season, averaging 11.1 yards per carry and leading the Cavaliers (11-2) to the state title game. Booth also booted 14 punts for an average of 38.9 yards. His 10 consecutive games with 200 or more yards rushing set an all-class record. A 2023 First Team All-State selection and 2024 Super State First Team honoree, he is ranked as Nebraska’s No. 12 recruit by Prep RedZone. He was also named Offensive MVP of the US Army All-American Junior Combine. He will graduate as the Class C2 record-holder for career touchdowns and tied for the single-game TD mark with eight.

Exemplary Character

Booth has donated his time on behalf of the God Teens faith formation group, Neumann FIRE campus ministry and as part of two service-mission trips to Gallup, New Mexico—home to the poorest diocese in the country. He also has volunteered in association with his school by helping the elderly in his community, performing manual labor including moving furniture and lawn care.
