Good get. I heard he did very well at Richts kicking camp (Apparently he can really boot it). Key addition with Vogel graduating after the season.


For some this might not be a **** pickup like a skill position but this is very important to the teams success.

H.S. football: Zach Feagles sparks Ridgewood
NOVEMBER 9, 2015

110915-s-feagles-70p.webp

A concussion suffered from a helmet-to-helmet hit against Fair Lawn on Sept. 18 kept the Ridgewood junior out of three games during the middle of this season. Fatigue and increased sensitivity to light and noise even prevented Feagles from watching practice for a couple weeks last month.

"When you’re not out there, you really miss playing with your friends," said Feagles, the youngest of former Giants punter Jeff Feagles’ four sons. "You don’t realize until you’re on the sideline how much fun your friends are having and how intense they get in practices."

Once his symptoms subsided and Feagles complied with the NJSIAA’s five-day concussion protocol, the fullback/linebacker/punter returned to the field for the Maroons’ 17-7 win Oct. 16 against Paramus.

Two weeks later, Feagles rushed for 96 yards on 17 carries and the winning touchdown in overtime as Ridgewood beat Passaic Tech, 20-14, on the road to securing the top seed in the North 1, Group 5 playoffs.

"He’s so talented," longtime Ridgewood coach Chuck Johnson said. "He’s big, he’s strong, he’s fast, he’s tough, he’s physical. He missed three weeks, where he was basically inactive. So he’s still getting back into it.

"He had a great preseason. He had almost a hundred yards [rushing] against Marshfield, the No. 1 team in Massachusetts [in Ridgewood’s opener]. He was on the verge of breaking out, and then he sat down for three weeks. Now that he’s back, we’re going to ride that horse."

The 6-foot-2, 210-pound Feagles is part of a diverse Ridgewood backfield that has produced 2,521 yards and 36 touchdowns in nine games for the Maroons (7-2), who are ranked No. 5 in The Record football Public Top 20.

Feagles has rushed 84 times for 442 yards and six touchdowns in six games. Junior tailback Drew Granski leads Ridgewood with 882 yards on 105 carries and has scored five touchdowns.

"Having him back helps us a lot," Granski said. "He really bulldozes through guys."

Connor Krusac, a junior tailback, believes Feagles’ return has dramatically improved Ridgewood’s chances of reaching the North 1, Group 5 championship game, a pursuit that’ll begin at home against eighth-seeded Clifton on Friday night.

"Zach brings an energy to the offense that I haven’t seen in all my years of football," Krusac said. "When he’s in the huddle, I just feel like I can play better. It gives us more confidence."

Feagles, a reserve inside linebacker, also has emerged as one of New Jersey’s top punters.

After averaging 29.8 yards per punt during his sophomore season, a bigger, stronger Feagles this season has accounted for an average of 37.4 yards on 15 punts. Feagles grew 4 inches and added about 40 pounds between his sophomore and junior seasons, but having one the best punters in NFL history at home obviously has helped Feagles’ cause.

"I was always a punter and I kind of did have a head start because of my dad," Feagles said. "He didn’t teach me too much in middle school because he didn’t really want to expose me to all that stuff yet.

"He just let me have fun in middle school. Now the level is getting higher, and he has been teaching me a lot."

Feagles hopes to punt for an FBS program, the route brother C.J. took when he earned a scholarship to North Carolina (for which he punted from 2009-13). Another brother, Blake, walked on at Connecticut, and is a redshirt sophomore receiver for the Huskies.

How Feagles fares in off-season punting showcases between his junior and senior years will help determine where he’ll punt in college.

"Whatever opportunities come my way," Feagles said, "I’ll be more than happy to take because I love the sport."

I'd like to personally thank Pete for being a real G and not getting on here teasing a Punter commit. He could have been on here yesterday squawking about "Get ready for some news tomorrow!," but he didn't. Thanks, Pete.
