Zae is a punishing receiver with insane physical attributes on both sides of the ball. Offensively, Zae exploits the defense with dazzling athleticism and good hands as a reliable receiver with really dazzling speed. But what most impressed me was the yards after the catch; he fought through tacklers with brute force and power. Defensively, Zae has excellent instincts and tackling ability and uses that speed and power to cover ground quickly with purpose and intent. Zae is a crushing tackler who is sure to deliver every time. Zae disrupts the offense consistently, whether it's tackling, deflecting passes, or making interceptions. with his excellent cover skills. Overall, Zae is versatile enough to play anywhere on the field, offensively and defensively.
Last season, Zae had 38 tackles, 34 solo with 6tfl, 3PBUs, 1fr TD and 4 catches for 119 yards. So far this season, in 7 games, Zae has 74 tkls with 50 Solo, 4 PBUs, 2 INTs, adding 20 rec for 295 yards,
The most motivating thing that happened to Zae that will push him moving forward was getting hurt week six and being out for the rest of the season..
Before the snap, Zae locks in on trying to use details that he sees in film during the week.
A coach should know his intense work ethic and giving his all till that clock expires separates him from the crowd.
What fuels Zae the most is giving it his all for his teammates and community..
When facing adversity, Zae thinks to himself, right foot, left foot, breathe, and stay calm.
Zae's advice to those coming behind him is to keep working when no one is looking and stay hungry.
Zae sees himself playing at the D2 level and knows it will take hard work and striving to do everything correctly to get there. Zae would consider playing at a lower-division level. A place where he can get a good education and that has a good program will be a significant factor in his decision being what will make a school stand out to him.
I assessed after our interview that Zae is most interested in locking in on the defensive side of the ball at the next level. With all he brings to the field he is more than capable of competing on the D2 level and will be a hidden gem and not only thrive but excel. When he spends all his time putting in the same work ethic he could be more of a game changer than anyone imagined, except himself. As the season winds down, Zae is on a mission to really dominate the rest of the season and playoffs, willing to put his team on his back if necessary. Stay tuned y'all.
