Conner Kempe’s Football Career

Football has been a large part of Conner Kempe’s life since he was a young teenager attending the Benjamin School in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. Although he is currently focusing on his studies at Stetson Law School in Gulfport, Florida, Conner Kempe remains extremely proud of his football record, and looks forward to continued involvement in the sport.

Conner Kempe got his football start at the Benjamin School in Palm Beach Gardens. While he also excelled in baseball and lacrosse (he earned three letters for baseball and started as a 3 hole hitter as an eight grader), Conner Kempe chose football as the sport that he would pursue with the most vigor after he won the Nike Elite 11 competition at the University of Miam. He achieved all-area, all-region, and all-state status.  Conner Kempe broke all of the Benjamin School’s previous career passing records, and his jersey number, 16, was retired in his honor when he graduated.

Given his high school football prowess, there was no doubt that Conner Kempe would be recruited by college scouts – and recruited he was. Conner Kempe received scholarships from various scholarship schools and was recruited by Harvard, Penn, Yale, Brown, and Princeton. He eventually settled on Dartmouth. While attending Dartmouth, Conner Kempe received the Ivy League Rookie of the Week Award in his freshman year, in recognition of his performance in his first start against Cornell and was a four year starter.
