Zellers is a 6-1, 247, redshirt Junior from Scottsdale, AZ. After a breakout freshman year where Zellers played in every game and started 6, Parker was a key reserve on the D-line last year playing in 12 games, but never starting. His production also dropped a little making 17 tackles after racking up 20 tackles his first year. Zellers also had 1 sack and 1 fumble recovery last year.
The given going into camp is that no one is going to outwork or out-prepare Zellers. But unless the former walk-on had a growth spurt in the offseason, he is likely to be a key reserve for the defensive line again this year. What he will do is push everyone in practice to bust their butt every repetition and every down.
93 receptions for a season is the Arizona record set by Bobby Wade in 2002 in just 12 games.
