Marshall’s 6-2, 210lb WR Powerhouse with Rare Blocking Grit
Zavier Short, a 6-2, 210-pound junior WR for Marshall, stands out not just for his size but for his elite blocking intensity—he blocked a kick/punt in 2025 despite playing only 9 games and recording just 1 total tackle [1]. While his receiving stats are modest (0 solo tackles, 0 passes broken up), his physical profile and willingness to contribute on defense and special teams signal a high-intensity, team-first personality that coaches value [1]. Born in Chapin, SC and majoring in sport and entertainment management at South Carolina before joining Marshall [2], Short offers a differentiator as a big-bodied, versatile weapon who thrives in contact and elevates the unit beyond the box score. Ideal for teams needing a physical WR who blocks like a linebacker and plays with relentless grit.
