Zeke Cobb (8) is one of the Dynamite Dozen.DALTON, Ga. – Every workout he completes, every practice he goes through and each game he plays in gets Zeke Cobb a little further away from Aug. 21, 2015.
Fresh off a solid sophomore season at Dalton High School, the speedy 6-foot-3 receiver, who was already getting serious looks from Southeastern Conference schools, was set to make a splash as the Catamounts opened their season against Scottsboro.
Cobb didn’t make it past the first series, however. A complete tear of his ACL ended his season and severely affected his future. Power Five college programs rarely wait until a player’s senior season to make scholarship offers, especially to one coming off a serious knee injury.
To regain recruiters’ attention, Cobb not only would have to put in hundreds of hours to recover from the injury but also would have to prove during the summer and early season that he could regain his former level of play and do so without any mental hangups.
Two games into the 2016 season, he’s done all that and more.
