Pitt All-American Running Back James Connor Is Dating The Smoking Hot Cheerleader Just Like IN THE MOVIES!!

Pittsburgh running back James Connor has a pretty wild story. In 2014, he was the ACC Player of the Year and garnered All-American honors after rushing for 1,765 yards with an ACC record 26 rushing touchdowns. Connor missed nearly all of the 2015 season with a torn medial collateral ligament in his knee, squandering his chances to enter the NFL Draft as many predicted he would.

To add insult to injury, Connor received a phone call on Thanksgiving morning of last year that no one ever wants to get. The then 20-year-old was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma and spent the next six months going through a rigorous chemotherapy regimen. Connor beat the cancer and through 10 games, he has 844 yards and 12 touchdowns–including a huge 132 yard, one touchdown game against the unbeaten Clemson Tigers last week. Not to mention, he picked up a smoking hot cheerleader girlfriend named Sarah Quinn. But don’t take my word for it…

Matt’s love of writing was born during a sixth grade assembly when it was announced that his essay titled “Why Drugs Are Bad” had taken first prize in D.A.R.E.’s grade-wide contest. The anti-drug people gave him a $50 savings bond for his brave contribution to crime-fighting, and upon the bond’s maturity 10 years later, he used it to buy his very first bag of marijuana.
