ETSU TE Zion Cooley brings upside, size, and proven production from Carrollton
Cooley enters ETSU as a **freshman tight end** with a big-frame profile at **6-foot-4, 223 pounds** and a proven high-school résumé, including **20 catches, 270 yards, and 7 receiving touchdowns in 2024** plus major disruptive production on defense before his move to tight end.[1][3][6] What makes him interesting is the versatility and playmaking hint: he has shown he can win in space, finish in the red zone, and bring an edge from his edge-rusher background, which can translate into a physically aggressive, high-upside TE fit if he develops his route detail and blocking consistency.[3][6][10]
