  03/18/21 - QB Kato NelsonrSr/2022, Akron

  One of the most surprising things thus far at the University of Akron's spring practice is seeing No. 1 on the field flinging passes with relative ease. Given an extra year of eligibility, quarterback Kato Nelson should have been a prime candidate to enter the transfer protocol and take his talents elsewhere. But there he is. Throwing passes on a rope, moving in the pocket and generally looking good after shoulder surgery. "It was real tough, but the biggest thing for me was trying to coach up my teammates, coach up Zach [Gibson], that's my boy and I think that's what made it easier for me," he said of missing last season. "I felt like I was still part of the team by being around the guys."

Looking good in spring practice is one thing, doing so in the fall is different and there's no guarantee that he'll reclaim the Zips' starting job with the season kicks off. Gibson gained experience the past two seasons with 10 starts and newcomer DJ Irons, all 6-foot-6 of him, promises to add to the interesting nature of the UA quarterback room. Nelson is undaunted after spending those six games of last fall's truncated season on the sideline. So far, he said, he's throwing the ball well with no soreness and the shoulder is back. - Akron Beacon Journal
