The article says he runs a 4.4 second 40 yard dash. Highly unlikely, but he does look fast enough on film.

Like you, I find it hard to believe a 6 foot, 200 pound running back who runs a 4.4 is a preferred walk-on at NIU. Something doesn't add up.

Here is another great article on him from last season. You're right, something doesn't add up. I'm going to do some more digging

Interesting, he was granted a “run off”
Waiver from WSU...


Redshirt sophomore QB Connor Neville, a former four-star high school prospect, announced Monday WSU had submitted his notification to transfer and entered his name into the NCAA’s transfer portal.

Transfers generally have to sit out one season before being permitted to play at their next school, but Neville, in a tweet announcing his transfer, said he’d be eligible to play immediately because WSU will grant him a “run off waiver.”

free to talk to coaches and will be immediately eligible, WSU will sign off a run off waiver.


A “run off waiver” can be filed if a student-athlete can’t return to their previous institution for reasons out of their control, or “run off” by that institution.

It’s possible Neville was not granted an opportunity to return to Pullman for his redshirt sophomore season because of WSU’s growing scholarship count at the QB position. By signing three-star high school prospect Gunner Cruz and adding Eastern Washington grad transfer Gage Gubrud, the Cougars would’ve been carrying six scholarship QBs on their roster this fall.

Neville, who redshirted in 2017, didn’t take a rep at WSU last season and was considered to be behind at least four other QBs – Gubrud, redshirt seniors Trey Tinsley and Anthony Gordon, and redshirt freshman Cammon Cooper – on the Cougars’ depth chart.

The 6-2, 205-pound Neville was a four-star recruit according to ESPN coming out of Wilsonville High School in Beaverton, Oregon, and listed offers from Boise State and Hawaii. ESPN considered him the third-best recruit in the state of Oregon and the ninth-best dual-threat QB in the country.

We need to land this one. There is zero QB experience behind Bowers right now and he graduates after this season.

Seems like a good kid. Hope he chooses us. Check his interview out. Fun to hear about Last Chance U, Buddy Stephens, Gardener Minshew, and Mike Leach.

Not saying that they aren't good but just because they were at P5 schools, doesn't mean they can play.

These last chance guys are usually guys that got in trouble their freshman year and bounced back. I’d be surprised if he wasn’t good. Lol

He was ESPN's 9th ranked dual threat quarterback after his senior season in high school.

So we went from losing Jiya Wright, Anthony Thompson, Mariano Valenti and Rodney Hall ...to getting Andrew Haidet, Ross Bowers, Dustin Fletcher, and this guy

I love what Hammock is doing! The dudes we lost are outgunned by these guys!!! Let's see if we can put it together on the field.
