Quinton Conley is a class of 2022 student athlete at Pembroke High School in Kansas City, Missouri. Standing at 6’5 and 205 lbs., his build has made him an absolute nightmare to any defense. With his height and athleticism, it makes it nearly impossible for defenses to stop him; this is on full display in his film where he often jumps over opposing players and makes incredible catches. His height is not the only thing that defenses have to look out for, he is also faster than anyone on the field. He even ran the same 40-yard dash time as Dallas Cowboys rookie star receiver CeeDee Lamb, at 4.5 seconds! This combination of size and speed has made his name known all over the state as he received the honor of being an All-State Receiver last year. His work on the football field is not his only impressive feat in high school, he also achieved a 3.2 GPA! Conley has shown what he can do so far, and we should definitely be excited to see him in his senior season next year.
