Nate Zills brings a big frame and special-teams edge to Jacksonville State
Nate Zills is a 6-foot-5, 230-pound redshirt sophomore tight end at Jacksonville State who is still early in his college career, with 2024 action in four games and most of his value coming as a blocker on kick return. His best differentiators are size, length, and a blue-collar feel: he showed real receiving production in high school with 37 catches for 763 yards in 2022, and that background suggests upside if his route polish catches up. He looks like a fit for a team that values physicality, special teams, and developmental tight end traits.
