What makes you stand out as a future collegiate athlete?
My ability to catch the ball out of the backfield as well as lining up at WR or slot and run good routes which gives the offensive coordinator the ability to keep defense guessing
Zuell was hurt for a good bit of last season, but the explosive playmaker shows a lot in terms of making cuts in the tackle box and getting up field. He’s got a slashing style to him, making hard change of directions that doesn’t honestly suit his skill set so much. The 2019 back is powerful as can be, and can run straight thru contact, when he chooses to do so. He has a decent stiff arm and does a nice job using his shoulders to fake out a defender. Zuell moves his feet pretty well after contact, but that is certainly area of improvement. He’s a load no doubt, and looks like the type of power back that can take the game away and control the clock. Zuell will have to prove he can remain healthy, if he does this fall, then I think a long string of offers will be on the way. I would like to see Zuell to improve his acceleration more and really focus on exploding up field instead of making too much cuts at the LOS. He is a devastating blocker tho, sent some players flying during his reel. Zuell has been a recruit we have heard about for a few years now, and it impressive the production he amounted during an injury plagued season.
