About Za’eir
Expert Analysis
Brendan Mankarious | Prep Redzone Scout
Joining fellow lineman Louis DiBiase Louis DiBiase 6'1" | 270 lbs | OL Donovan Catholic | 2025 State NJ in the trenches for Donovan Catholic is 6’3″ 250lb teammate Za’eir Day Za’eir Day 6'3" | 250 lbs | DL Donovan Catholic | 2024 NJ . Day, who also plays basketball for the Griffins, made 101 tackles on the season, 12 of which were for a loss, 3 sacks, 3 FR, and 3 FF on defense. On offense he caught 14 passes for 131 yards and 2 TDs while also rushing 7 times for 43 yards. Day has played both with his hand on the ground and standing up.
Day’s game begins and ends with his quick-twitch ability. We see him beat slow lineman to their inside gap all the time en route to tackles. Much of his production comes from this. Day is the beneficiary of being so quick off the snap that nobody stands a chance. His quickness comes into play against the option. He has discipline to play the keep-man, but has shown the quickness to chase down the pitch-man for a minimal gain, if any. He can maintain half-man gap responsibility and squeezes to elude blockers en route to making a play. Day will solidify himself as an edge college prospect should he add more clips of him winning with an outside pass rush and taking on blockers to his film.
Practice at Donovan Catholic sounds like a doozy. On one side of the ball you have
