Four Huskies...ready for combine

“My biggest mentor is my dad,” – Noah Zerr

Without hesitation Noah Zerr said, “My biggest mentor is my dad.” The 6’7”, 330 pound Huskies’ offensive lineman is one of four players from the University of Saskatchewan that will take part in the CFL combine in Toronto, March 25^th to 27^th. When asked about his father, (Rob Zerr), Noah said, “He played here. (University of Saskatchewan) He wore the number 60 just like I do. I always felt there was a legacy there.”

Noah comes from an athletic family. Not only did his dad play for the Huskies in 1981, ’83 and ’84, but his mother, Patti (Boughen), was a gifted high school basketball player, who also hails from sports oriented roots. When asked about what drives Noah, Rob, who farms near Langenburg, said, “It’s that spirit of competition and working hard.”

“He’s (Rob) excited for me,” said Noah. “He gets just as nervous for this kind of stuff as I do.” Dad may be a bit anxious about watching his son take this next step, but believes Noah has the traits to be a success on the field. “He’ll find away, and work as hard as he has to, to get the spot he wants.”

Zerr could not be better prepared for this moment. He has the advantage of getting perspective from members of the Huskies’ coaching staff who have been involved in football at the highest level in the country. Head Coach Scott Flory, defensive coordinator Warren Muziyka, receivers coach Duane Dmytryshyn, and special teams coordinator Jerry Friesen have all played in the CFL. “We have a lot of professional talent here,” said Zerr. “It’s been very easy to get information.”

Zerr is one four U of S Huskies who will be at the national combine. (RB Adam Machart, DL Riley Pickett, and DL Nathan Cherry are also attending.) “Noah has worked so hard,” said Flory. “All of these guys deserve it. They will all do incredibly well.”

There is no doubt in Rob’s mind that his soon will make an impact in Toronto. “He’s always been a kid that’s wanted to push it. When he went to the Huskies in 2016, it was a team that didn’t promise him anything. When he got to camp, there were 6 or 7 guys he’d have to crawl over. By the next fall he was starting.” Noah has that same mindset with a pro career on the line. “I think the thing that separates me is my drive. This is something I’ve wanted for a long time, and I don’t think I’m going to let anyone stop me.”

After interviews and individual testing on Friday, players will continue to display their talents in front of CFL scouts, coaches and managers on Saturday March 25^th. Bench press and 1 on 1 offensive and defensive lineman drills are scheduled for day one. On the second and final day, Sunday March 26^th , players will showcase their speed in the 40 yard dash before 1 on 1 drills for the receivers, running backs, linebackers and defensive backs.
