Zakar Morris Brings Proven Bulk, Backfield Activity, and Transfer-Portal Grit to UMass
In the 2025 season at UAlbany, Zakar Morris posted 40 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, a pass breakup, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery, showing he can be active, disruptive, and useful in multiple phases from the interior. At 6-foot-2 and 300 pounds, he fits the mold of a stout defensive lineman who plays with physicality, and reports on his move to UMass emphasized culture, accountability, and a team-first mindset. He looks like a solid fit for a program needing toughness and interior punch.
