Conner Danko has been selected as the Warrior Watch Athlete of the Week for the week ending on September 7, 2025 after a standout performance against the Claysburg Bulldogs. Danko led the way for the Warriors, piling up 243 total offensive yards and scoring three touchdowns. As the team’s starting quarterback, he directs the offense and consistently sets the tone for his teammates.

“Conner is the ultimate leader,” said junior tight end Hansen Lannen. “He never misses an optional workout, always comes early and stays late. He works harder than anyone I know and never complains. He’s a great quarterback with a big arm and makes quick decisions. He’s the cornerstone of our team.”
