The Georgia Call-Up: Jeff Davis' Konnor “Fish” Munsayac

Welcome to SDH's first Georgia Call-Up of the 2026 season! For our first Call-Up, we travel down south to Hazelhurst, Georgia to Jeff Davis High School to zoom in on senior, Konnor “Fish” Munsayac. Fish was a baseball player who made the transition to soccer in 7th grade. For only playing soccer for six years, Fish has 52 goals and 15 assist in his career. Not only is Fish an incredible player, but he also has a 4.0 GPA, an active member in his church, Member of FCA, BETA, and will graduate with honors distinction. 

To get to know Fish better, SDH sat down with Fish to talk about his game, his motivation, and what drives him beyond the field. Then, we caught up with his coach, Brian Lawson, to get an inside perspective on the player and the person behind the nickname.

Konnor “Fish” Munsayac Q&A:

Q: Who is a player you model your game after and why?

A: I model my game after Mbappe because I think I have similar skill sets as him like speed, technical ability, and shooting. I study his highlights.

Q: Who inspires you the most and why?

A: The person that inspires me the most is my dad because he centers his life around helping people and working hard towards a goal.

Q: What’s one thing people don’t realize about your sport?

A: People don’t realize how much the weight room makes a difference on the soccer field. Even on game days, never miss a workout.

Q: Earliest soccer memory?

A: My earliest soccer memory is scoring my first varsity goal against our rival school that also tied the game and sent us to pk’s

Q: How would your teammates describe you?

A: My teammates would describe me as a leader by example and someone who tries to uplift others. My energy sets the tone.

Q: How has been balancing being a student athlete?

A: Balancing being a student athlete isn’t difficult. Having good time management is the key.

Q: Favorite memory with your teammates?

A: My favorite memory with my teammates was winning against our school rivals in the sweet 16 of the playoffs. It’s unforgettable how good we all felt after that win.

Q: Where do you see yourself in five years?

A: In five years I see myself beginning my career in sports medicine and giving back to the athletic life I love. 

Brian Lawson, Varsity Boys Head Soccer Coach at Jeff Davis Q&A:

Q: How would you describe Fish in one word?

A: Dangerous

Q: What has it been like to watch him develop as a player and a person during your time?

A: It has been unbelievable. He gave soccer a chance as a 7th grader. He was a baseball player who made the transition. To see what he has become in only 6 years of playing a sport is unreal. He has worked his natural-born butt off to become the player that he is. And he is becoming an even better young man. 

Q: How would you describe Fish as a player?

A: Difference maker, threat, electric. When the ball finds his foot and he drives to goal, us coaches look at eachother and say, "oh here comes a chance."

Q: What does their work ethic look like when no one’s watching?

A: I tell my players to have integrity. Integrity is what you do when no one is watching. And he is the epitome of that. He is the kid who picks up the trash in the hallway when no one is there because it is the right thing to do. That is how he is on the grass. He does all the work behind the scenes that makes the team run.

Q: What makes them unique beyond the stats?

A: Its the work ethic and leadership he shows. He is the first one to the practice field and the last one to leave. If he is on the field our team believes they can beat anyone in the country. 

Q: What do people outside the program maybe not see about them?

A: His nickname "Fish" came from a stuffed fish he loved (still has in his truck window). He wanted to be called "Konnor Fish" we shortened it in conversation. A local rec ball coach set it on fire in sports when Konnor was his running back in all star football and no one could catch the slippery little "Fish."

The Georgia Call-Up, in partnership with the Georgia Student Finance Authority, is our statewide initiative spotlighting high school players that college coaches should know. If there’s a student-athlete who deserves to be seen, we want to hear about them.
