Tom Gaffney wrote an interesting story about Zips lineman Ryan Bain.
Looking at Bain’s physical attributes, it’s hard to question that he has All-MAC potential. That story indicates he might be a leader, too.
- Recruiting notes…
According to a news story out of East Liverpool, Ohio, Akron notched its first verbal commitment in lineman Derek Johnson. He’s bulky and powerful. Neither recruiting site lists him. Props to ZipsNation for finding the link.
Zips target Corey Linsley is now the No. 4 offensive guard in the nation, according to Scout.com. The Youngstown product has offers from Akron, Ohio State, Pitt, Stanford and some MAC schools.

The PD’s Elton Alexander wrote a season recap.
He believes Akron will remain as a MAC contender.

Congrats to JD and his staff on landing Johnson, he will be a handful (that would be a holding penalty, wouldn’t it?) for any offensive lineman to contend with.
