Connell's time as registrar of the University of Queensland is thought to have contributed significantly to the University's growth in the 1950s and 1960s. This earned him the honour of Commander (civil) of the Order of the British Empire in 1965. In 2000 Connell was awarded the Australian Sports Medal for his contribution to Australia's international standing in rugby league.
