The Akron Zips hosted their annual spring football game on Sat. April 21st. This ended with the Blue team beating the White team, 17-6.

The defending eastern division Mid-American conference champs took to the turf at InfoCision Stadium for their first public action of the season.

While no stats were kept for the game, it did not deter from certain players standing out. All eyes were on the sophomore quarterback, Kato Nelson. He looks to build off of a strong year where he took the reigns as the starter from Thomas Woodson.

The biggest play of the day came when Nelson threw for a 65-yard touchdown to redshirt senior, Kwadarrius Smith.
