A top 150 senior. 4.0 GPA, can play TE/OL/EDGE. 6’4, 230 pounds.
We identified Eli Zasadni Eli Zasadni 6'4" | 225 lbs | DL Bishop McCort | 2025 State PA earlier in the year and provided a Division One grade. The Bishop McCort senior cashed in on said grade, securing an offer out of Robert Morris this past Spring/Summer. Now, with more film on Hudl, Zasadni announced he had picked up his second FCS offer, this coming from Mercyhurst Football. A no-brainer type of offer. Gannon, Edinboro, and other potential suitors around the Erie PA area should do their homework on Zasadni. Happy to see him earn more opportunities.
After a great conversation with @CoachJones256 I’m blessed to receive my second Division 1 offer from MercyHurst University❗️@MercyhurstFB @kalleighburke @CoachRiemedio pic.twitter.com/KzTk8x8pvj

Moldable prospect that should get real attention if he camps this offseason. Three-sport athlete, 50+ tackles in ten games, along with 7 TFLs and three sacks, all while also contributing at OL/TE. Carries the ideal build necessary to rush the passer around the edge, utilizes said build well, good hand user, is a blur off the snap so getting into his chest is tough if you’re a slow OT. His pass protecting rep is what really dropped my jaw. I have to preface that at 6’4, 225, the likelihood of Zasadni playing along a collegiate offensive line is low, he’d need to beef up of course. That being said, I’m enamored with his demeanor and aggressive nature while stationed at OT/TE. This kid is firing off the ball like he’s headed for the QB, yet he’s actually displacing an IDL or a backer 10 yards off the ball. His initial punch is note-worthy, this goes for both sides of the football. He possesses a jarring jolt of a punch that has to take it’s toll as the games progress. Good motor, seems to be always revving. Good pad-level, likely an exciting piece to a future defensive front. Great debut ranking inside the Top 150.
