Morris an interior defensive lineman who has a D1 build and frame shows versatility along the defensive line. Morris played anywhere from 0-tech to 5-tech along the Gaels defensive line and showed that he can be a violent physical force at the point of attack. While at the next level his best position is probably at 3-tech he has the frame to add even more strength and weight and push even further inside.

Zakar Morris Zakar Morris 6'1" | 275 lbs | DL Iona Prep | 2024 State NY is a very strong physical defender who is one of the better run defenders amongst all defensive lineman in New York. Morris is great at maintaining his gap responsibilities and does a good job of shedding blocks to get hands on ball carriers through the hole. Morris has really solid hands and his motor to fight through blocks makes him a threat to make plays both as a pass rusher and run defender. As a pass rusher Morris could develop a little more in terms of his consistency and pass rush moves but overall, Morris is one of the most physical defensive lineman in the state and is one of the most impactful run defenders in New York.
