“The receiving corps I thought would have been a cause of concern,” Harvard coach Tim Murphy told the school newspaper. “But with the emergence of guys like [sophomore] Ricky Zorn, [sophomore] Matt Brown, [sophomore] Andrew Berg, and [freshman] Seitu [Smith], that could end up being a fun group.”

Ricky shone, pulling down more passes than any other receiver all day.

“Ricky Zorn has probably come farther than any other kid at his position,” Murphy continued. “He came in here as a quarterback, and now he is potentially going to be a very athletic, tough, fast, decent-sized receiver.”

The Harvard athletic roster lists Ricky at 6’0 and 185 pounds.
