There is a reason why Tottenville (Staten Island, N.J.) athlete Zihir Lacewell is rated a four-star recruit. It's because he's long, lean, explosive, versatile, and highly-productive on both sides of the ball. And for that reason, his head coach feels he's a "freak athlete."
"He's 6-3, 190 and can run. I've never seen anybody make up ground the way he does," said Tottenville head coach Brian Neville. "The way he runs, he can jump, he can catch, and when he plays defense he looks to knock your head off. So, I mean, he's just a freak athlete.
