re: Zak Neary - Falling through the cracks

And as far speed goes he has outrun p hillis in several races.

Like everyone has said previously, I question his speed

But he has everything else you could want from a safety

Orangelood he has definitely turned out to be a hell of a player talking bout Willis. I always say sometime a kid needs to get to college and then see them blossom to the player they could be

Zak Neary - Falling through the cracks
Orange,

Any idea why he is so late on the scene? Did he camp anywhere? Was he told to keep working by any coaches in hope of a late offer? Would he prefer a full scholarship at a small school, or try a preferred walk-on scholly earner at a bigger school? Does he want to go far from home?

You seem to have a special interest in him, so I figured you might be able to paint a clearer picture



Quite honestly he is late on the scene bc of playing in rural west tn. And not knowing the process of getting noticed. He did some camps. But thought most of them were just trying to get your $. His coach never had a kid this good and didnt know the ropes if u will of getting his name out there. They (Zak, dad, and coach) are all learning.

He has a full ride at a d2 school. They want him as a QB they think. They think he could play several positions as a freshman and think he will be d2 all American. That being said he is a competitor. He want to play big time football. He would prefere to working his arse of for a schollie as apposed to full ride somewhere smaller. That's from the horses mouth. Hillis spoke with Chavis about Zak. I think that is why there a lot of smoke right now.

Thanks man. Im wishing him the best

Thanks Billy. Wherever he ends up he will consider it an honor and privledge to put on that jersey.

If offered a spot he would walk to Baton Rouge :)

Thanks for all the info

Ill update this as I hear stuff. I talk to mr Neary pretty often.

It's funny, some of these kind of kids come in unheralded, work their arse off and become great players and people. And prima-donna Johnny Fivestar fizzles out or flunks out in 3 yrs. well that's how it works at UT seems like anyway.
