Cornell’s Nick Zerante brings size-speed juice as a reliable vertical threat
Nick Zerante has been described by Cornell as a 6-foot-3 receiver with size and speed who can work the middle and stretch the field, the kind of profile that can tilt coverage even without gaudy stat lines. In the 2008 season, Cornell listed him with 20 catches for 291 yards, and in the 2009 season bio he was framed as one of the team’s more experienced receivers with a bigger offensive role. His appeal is the blend of length, route-stretching ability, and willingness to win contested throws—useful traits for a team needing a disciplined outside target.
