from Oakcrest committed to James Madison University. At 6’0” and 170 pounds, he’s a versatile athlete who can impact all game phases.
Zicri isn’t a burner but uses his long stride to cover the ground effectively. His solid speed and long, rangy frame help him win in contested catch situations as a wide receiver. On the defensive side, his movement across the field is smooth and controlled. He shows strong athleticism and the ability to play multiple positions, making him a valuable chess piece for any team.
As it pushes to establish itself to jump to a Power 4 program, James Madison scored a significant win with Zicri. His versatility and athleticism give him the potential to develop into an impact player on either side of the ball.
After a great OV and conversation with @CoachhBarnes & @CoachBobChesney , I’m committing to play football at @JMUFootball . Can’t wait to get to the Valley this summer. #GoDukes pic.twitter.com/2bxrCwZJ1d

. When a split safety, Forest sees the run very clearly and attacks the ally by bowling in low. Balance is something Forest also has a lot of, tightroping the sideline when he possesses the ball while also evading tacklers in the process. A very good cover corner, he allows very little separation for offenders as they run their route. Forest does a nice job getting his hands on the ball and playing for tips an deflections. When faced against slants we see him press hard and play underneath, allowing his over-the-top defender to protect him. Forest can high point the ball well and use his hands and runs with power that seems to generate from his strong legs.

Zicri Forrest of Oakcrest has consistently impressed with his versatility and athleticism, making him a standout defensive back prospect. His fluid movement and exceptional athleticism allow him to excel in various coverage schemes, with a particular strength in off-man coverage.While Forrest’s primary role has been on the offensive side of the ball, his skill set suggests he could thrive in a jack-of-all-trades cornerback role. This role would capitalize on his athleticism and size, allowing him to cover both inside and outside receivers as well as potentially line up as a linebacker in certain situations.Drawing inspiration from Jalen Ramsey’s collegiate and professional career, where he showcased his versatility in different defensive roles, Forrest could similarly excel in a star role that maximizes his impact across all levels of the defense.With the potential to maintain his speed and agility even with added weight, Forrest presents an intriguing prospect for teams looking for a dynamic defensive playmaker capable of covering various positions and making an impact at all levels of the field.
