Zamir Poteat isn’t a big kid, not at all. But don’t tell him that, nor his coaches. Zamir has speed and athleticism on his side. Coach Bubb says “Zamir “Speedy” Poteat isn’t that big, but his presence on the field is. Probably one of my best all around players on the team. Once he’s locked in there’s no stopping him. I will be using him more as an athlete this up and coming season because of team need. He played Running back and Corner mostly our 2022-23 season but this year will be different. He’s very coachable and knows the game”.
