4-star TE Zipperer feeling like a priority to the Canes

Lakeland (FL) 4-star TE Keon Zipperer has had the Miami Hurricanes near the top of his recruitment for a while now and the talented tight end prospect took some time to update how things are progressing with UM.

“Things with them are good,” Zipperer said on the Canes. “Miami’s been recruiting me hard, I do feel like a priority.”

Ace recruiter and Miami tight ends coach Todd Hartley has been in Zipperer’s ear about coming to Miami and the Lakeland product has been receptive to what Hartley has to say.

“I love coach Hartley,” Zipperer said. “He’s just a cool dude and like a father figure. He tells me I’m his number 1 guy and if I commit, he’ll stop everything at the position.”

What else about the Canes has Zipperer interesting in signing with the U?

“They had a big year this past season and they use the tight end a lot,” Zipperer said.

Besides Miami, it seems every top program in the country is coming after Zipperer hard and he listed out a few other schools that he talks with the most.

“I’ve been hearing from LSU a lot,” Zipperer said. “Also, Florida State, Alabama, Clemson, Oklahoma, and North Carolina. I’m taking an official to Georgia, but no date yet.”

When it comes time to make his choice on Signing Day in February, Zipperer will simply be looking for the one place he feels most comfortable at and it appears surrounding environment will be a huge factor for the 6’2” 242 pounder.

“Signing day in February,” Zipperer said of his decision timetable. “I just want that school to feel like home. It’s just going to be a hard decision.”

Dude is 6"2, long arms,quick, smart. Polk made (woot woot hometown), came from the L (good coaching, tons of money relativity speaking).

He's actually really good... for the bench.

LOL WHERE DO YOU PEOPLE GET YOUR COMBACKS!

"you're crazy"

"Idiot...troll"

"you don't know football" -- I was told this by a 23 year old kid. This one actually has me on edge

Sounds like a few people were raised up in West Palm or Boynton hahahaha

Stupid in what sense? How many times do we give someone a crown before they deserve it?

I think it's stupid to say he's the best TE in the country. Or even top 5. Chad Thomas or Joe Jackson would eat his lunch EVERY SINGLE PLAY.

He can't block. He's nasty, yes. But pancaking a DB from Polk county is pretty easy. I saw Nickel Robey Coleman get pancaked by a 2 star OT. Point, doesn't mean SHTT.

Can he catch? Ehhhh. He can run a deep crossing route and can get lost by high school backers.

Not saying he sucks here, obviously. He's doing something to catch attention.

But he's not OJ Howard, he's not David Njoku, he's not Jonu Smith, he's not Delanie Walker. He's not even Chris Herndon. Zipperer will get demolished in the trenches, and he won't separate from any formidable college defensive back.

Rest thy case, boyz. ~~Moderators, queue this post up so I can take one of yalls JAY OH BEES~~

I actually just want @Geo305 's

I don’t know how great Zipp is or not, but I do know that he loves attention and you can’t read anything into his tweets.

The Opening Results from February:

6'2.5 242 pounds, 4.61 40 time , 4.55 Shuttle , 46.5 power ball, 33.6 vertical.

Laser timed 4.6 is flying for somebody that big, he's an elite athlete. Plus he has the highest SPARQ score of any tight end in the country so I'm not sure what you're talking about as to who else we would take.

Those are very impressive numbers. And that was during his JR year of H.S.

The man is entitled to a diff opinion.

Time will tell who’s right. I thought the clip Brock posted was mediocre, but others obviously have seen him play and think highly of him.

None of this talk matters. Our staff has evaluated the kid a thousand times over. Does anyone here care about what a poster here believes? Staff believes the kid can add to our receiver talent and I trust their judgement over "dudes".

By this logic, you must have looooooved Al Golden.
