2018 Verbal: Zach Mathis

[HerdBot]

Watched his highlights. Kid can jump, has really soft hands, and is very coordinated for a guy who is this tall. Can't tell on speed because I don't know the level of football there and he didn't t get in the open field much on his highlights

With all tall guys, it all comes down to putting on weight so they can get off the line of scrimmage and block, while keeping speed and learning the playbook. If that happens this kids got quite the upside and a great frame for Kramer to work with

Welcome aboard

I believe his brother is Jacob, a 4 star TE at Ole Miss.

This just gets better and better. I wish the season started tomorrow. Welcome to the Mathis family.

Has the genes to put some weight on.

Yep, found this from some twitter luck. Really excited about Zach, looks like he goes up and gets the ball.

Apparently he is also a stud basketball player, which isn't surprising after seeing how smooth and graceful he looked on the football field.

This article listed him at 6'7". Maybe he really is 6'6" then.

I don't understand how a kid like this is only a two star recruit. I can understand kids from the upper midwest flying under the radar, but Tampa?

I suppose there could be some issues we aren't seeing in the highlights, but from what I just saw and considering the academic,spiritual, and family things.....I sure didn't think I saw anything that good coaching couldn't develop into a high impact player.

Sky's the limit for this kid.

This recruiting class is just ridiculous. It's not fair. I actually feel sorry for the rest of MVC.

Boy this is great!!! Welcome Zach and GO BISON!!!

Now if the coaches can close the deal on one more WR by the name of Xavier Johnson I might just cry! Great class coming in and need to keep it going!

At this point, I would much rather see a great punter and kicker or a 2 or 3 star DT. How about a kid who can long snap?

I love the breakdown of film and body type in every verbal thread especially the questioning of actual height/weight ect.. lol

Just be happy we are getting this type of player
