CONNOR VON STEIN

A year-round specialist from Highlands Ranch, Colorado. He has kicked and punted for two teams in each of the last two seasons, Cherry Hills Christian and the Parker Hawks, which has given him roughly double the live game reps of a single-team specialist.

In seventh grade he started an Instagram page and named it connor.kicks12, after the number on his jersey. His friends shortened it to CK12, and most of his teammates just call him CK now.

Across his first three Kohl's camps on the TDY youth ball, his scores rose every time, with his kickoff best-2 climbing from 63.8 in October 2025 to 78.0 in May 2026. This fall he moves to the full-size Wilson GST high school ball, and a Kohl's Winter Showcase this December will be his first national ranking event.

He has been active in his church since 2020 and joined a youth group this year. Since 2022 he has logged more than eighty hours of community service, as top fundraiser for Wreaths Across America and on a team that packed and shipped over four thousand meals for Lifeline Christian Missions.

Away from football he runs track, fly fishes, is a certified scuba diver, and has logged seventeen hours of flight instruction. He has a German shepherd.

He plans to attend Valor Christian for high school because every level of the program practices together, so a freshman specialist trains alongside the varsity from his first day. He hopes to kick at the FBS level.
