He was a running back for the Vanderbilt Commodores football team of Vanderbilt University.[2] Considered one of the sport's early greats,[3][4] he was picked for an all-time Vanderbilt team in 1912.[5] Connell was captain of the 1895 and 1896 teams.
1892
The oldest team in the memory of Grantland Rice was the 1892 team. Rice claimed Connell then would be a good player in any era.[6]
1894
Connel featured in Vanderbilt's first ever defeat of Ole Miss in 1894, giving the school its only loss of the season by the score of 40 to 0.[7]
1895
Connell was selected as a substitute for the All-Southern team.[3]
1897
He and captain Howard Boogher dove to recover the ball after the victory in the school's rivalry game with Sewanee in 1897.[8] Vanderbilt allowed no points on the season and split a claim to the championship of the south when it held Virginia to a scoreless tie.[9] Casper Whitney said he was the South's finest football player.[10]
Connell won Bachelor of Ugliness.
