8th signee is Zion Nelson

Pretty long article, but it says that Zion wasn't recruited because he weighed 240lbs.

Played cello before football. Mom played basketball. Didn't play football until 8th grade. Played tight end before tackle in high school.

They write about us losing tarquin and eguakun and then finding Zion at the last minute. Smart kid who took college classes the last two years of HS.

Mom lost her job, her and Zion moved into her father's house to get by. He didn't gain much weight in HS because, mom had to pay bills or food.

Wow; didn’t know that. A Kid like this might become a center piece b/c of the hunger. Mom making sacrifices, rough times...u reward her by making it and buying her, her own house.
