That brings to 5 the number of DL in this class which is fantastic. Coach Arth has addressed a major need that the Zips have had for years, which is the DL. With last year signees, if the commitments from this class sign, they have solidified this position for the next few years. The commitments have size, weight, and speed. As I stated in other posts, I hope that they have talent. In looking at Porter's film, it does not appear that he played against major competition. However, he does show good speed and agility. I am so looking forward to future teams where the DL dominates. Quote

Blue & Gold Posted August 23, 2020 Author Report Posted August 23, 2020 For sure, @bigjim! I'll have some time tomorrow to look into him. I'll also update the initial post in this thread. 1 Quote

Blue & Gold Posted August 24, 2020 Author Report Posted August 24, 2020 @bigjim Thanks, @Zipmeister. Judging by Burney's twitter page he's almost certainly being recruited as a TE. Quote

It looks like he was a 2018 or 2019 graduate from Georgia and played CB. He had zero stars with 247 out of high school. It looks like originally he only had one FCS offer at Chatanooga. Ultimately, he ended up playing JC football, I believe it was in IOWA. If anyone else finds any other information, please add to the post. Quote

He may not have had any stars out of high school and only one offer, but he is tiny. You can't teach tiny. https://www.hudl.com/profile/5403496/Karey-Lee 1 Quote

I hope the link works. i watched the second half of the Euclid Strongsville game tonight wanting to see Reese make some great plays. I do not recall his name being called at any time. Actually, I did not see him on the field many defensive plays in the second half. I was hoping for some tackles and sacks that would leave me wanting to see him in a Zips uniform, but that did not happen. I am still looking forward to him being a great Zips DL. 1 Quote

Could Seibert have commited here because he thought he would be 30 minutes away from his brother? Will be interesting to see what happens. Quote

LZIp Posted October 24, 2020 Report Posted October 24, 2020 Competition at the most important position is always good. Looks like Zagorski may be familiar with him from his time at EKU as they were recruiting him out of HS. I’d probably prefer an Ian Kipp from Mentor (I don’t think they’ll take any other QBs with Jankowski and now him), but we need to make sure we have somebody ready to play next year if the young QBs don’t develop as expected. 1 Quote

Don't see that anyone one else offered either. He doesn't claim that we offered a scholarship rather than a walk-on opportunity, but heck we have 23 open scholarships; we might as well give him one. https://247sports.com/Recruitment/Prestin-Hawkins-127919/RecruitInterests/ 1 Quote
