W&M's Adam O'Connor Brought Aboard as Offensive Line Prospect

WILLIAMSBURG, VA - William and Mary senior defensive lineman Adam O'Connor (Greensboro, NC) has signed a free agent contract with the National Football League¹s Carolina Panthers.

O'Connor will report to the team¹s Rookie Camp starting this Thursday, May 4th, at the team¹s training facility in Charlotte, NC.
