is an electrifying talent at Milton Academy, standing 5’10” and weighing 170 pounds. A reclass from Lynnfield, he has already garnered four verbal offers due to his explosive playmaking abilities. As a wide receiver and defensive back, Zahir’s top-tier speed and lightning-quick acceleration enable him to create separation from defenders effortlessly. His exceptional route-running and agility in open space make him a nightmare for tacklers, often turning short catches into game-changing gains. Watch out for this rising star!
Zahir is a dynamic WR for Milton. His top end speed and acceleration allow him to separate from defenders. He runs great downfield routes. In space Zahir is a problem to tackle. His quickness and change of direction skills give him the ability to turn any catch into a massive gain. Zahir should be the top target for Qur’an.
Zaire continued to impress in the skills players session. He has a quick release, fast feet, and can run every route. He also has a good release at the LOS, and can create separation quickly. In competition, Zaire made some tough catches, and was a certain standout. Keep an eye out for this Milton Academy transfer this summer.
2023 Film Review: Zahir is a sharp route runner with good burst off the line. He does a good job of finding holes in coverage and coming back to the ball when plays breaks down. He can make catches in traffic or on the boundary; and gets upfield quickly in the screen game. Zahir is also a good blocker in the run game, and uses a good burst to make plays from the backfield as well. He shows good speed and is a player to watch this summer.
Formerly a 2026 at Lynnfield HS in Lynnfield, Massachusetts, has now re-classed to 2027 while enrolled at Milton Academy. A watchlist 2026 dating back to last Fall, we’ll see if he has a shot at making our 2027 rankings some time in the foreseeable future. Tape quickly showcases Mitchell’s calling card, his ability to stretch the field vertically. A deep threat with burners, posts, and nines are likely in his future at Milton Academy, a similar offensive role would make sense. Not necessarily a one-trick pony though, you can get creative with his skill set. Pre-snap motion, misdirection sets, screen game, slot work, Mitchell could explode in terms of production.
