He came in after Buckley left for Louisville (and took some recruits with him). Now we're going up against multiple P5 schools with a real chance to land a player. DBs have not been a concern the past few years and do not appear to be a concern anytime soon with the flashes the young talent has shown. I almost posted the same thing a couple of days ago. He has really delivered. I hope we don't loose him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

72 Roo Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 I like the gold pants. On all their pants I would love to see a Z on the upper thigh. Let's make it navy blue on our white and gold pants and on the black pants I'd love to see a gold Z similar in color to the numbers. Also make it big, like 6" so everyone can clearly see our brand. What do you think? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He visits with us this weekend. Signing Jeffrey would instantly get me over the insult of being spurred by DeAmonte King. Jeffrey's highlights (I know) look better than anything I ever saw out of DeAmonte. And I saw DeAmonte play, oh... I'd say at least five times. (I'm not sure how much/hard the Zips actually pursued DeAmonte - possibly because we're focussed on Jeffrey.) Go Zips! (Go Otis!)

newzipfan Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 Oh by the way ! Nate Stewart is Definitely a Zip. He has the dynamic that can blow the roof off of any defense . The coaching staff , they got a diamond for the price of gold. He is the same on both sides of the ball but , he prefers receiver , Look him up on YouTube , he played football for 2 schools St. Pius X H.S. in Pennsylvania And Bethlehem Catholic H.S., also in Northeast Pennsylvania . His last high school game was in the Lehigh Valley of Pennsylvania McDonald's All-star Classic game. He left a record 7 catches 269 yards and three touchdowns .and was the M.V.P., all 4 years of his highlights are on you tube . He was in the 2012 USA U15 All-American game , was supposed to be in the Big33 game but got snubbed by his coach at Bethlehem Catholic, because he left the school in November 2015 . In 2014-2015 season, at the end of his Junior season , while still at Pius X he was the district XI class A Defensive Player Of The Year and they still selected him as an All-State wide receiver 81 catches 1151 yards and 16 tds., and that's not including special team yards and tds. Once they put whoever the right quarterback is on the field , you guys can be like what WM had at WR last year , specially if you can get Freddie Simmons on the field too ! Be excited !! 1920324_875137349187174_714289787501443344_n.jpg?oh=13e4757b3d3d2101abf3dc71aad70f9f&oe=5868313F 12193770_1073552322679008_3790327300310901683_n.jpg?oh=29588dfbc196cab21460348d5506b056&oe=5873B5A5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's insane that he was District Defensive POY and an All-State WR in the same year. I've never heard of a situation like that before! And, btw, do you have any information on the status of Freddie Simmons? Edited January 23, 2017 by Blue & Gold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Due to school closing and then going to 2 different schools his senior year, he fell through the cracks. Also, I believe St. Pius X and Bethai were both AAA schools in a state where AAAA is king. Plenty of talent comes out of AAA football, however (Brock Boxen, for one.) The ootball coach from the third school, who never coached him, helped him with recruiting. Boxen also grey-shirted, I believe. Patriots Sign Dotted Line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like he ran a 4.81 timed 40 at an ESPN recruiting camp, which is probably 1 reason he didn't have any other D1 offers. He looks shifty, but not fast in his highlights.
