Oberlin, Ohio – We are halfway through June and before you know it will once again be time for football season here at Oberlin and across the country. The 2010 incoming class features a diverse and talented group of players that will help the Yeomen succeed over the next four years. In the first installment of Meet Your Incoming Yeomen we feature Zach Kisley and Moses Richardson.

Head Coach Jeff Ramsey
“Zach Kisley is an athlete, plain and simple. He is a big kid that can run like a receiver and has the size of a tight end. He will most likely play a little of both during his career at Oberlin. He also plays centerfield for his high school baseball team and even stepped in and played some shortstop when his team needed him to. He's one of those guys that can do it all. If you ask Zach to do something, you know you're going to get his best.

He excels in the classroom and has very high academic goals. Zach will be a great member of our campus as well as our football team. He is an outstanding young man and I can't wait to see how he develops as an athlete and a student during his four years at Oberlin.”

Why Kisley Chose Oberlin?
I chose Oberlin because the size of the school was perfect for me and it gives me the opportunity to study Biochemistry with professors that will be willing to give me the attention I need to become the best. Along with the great academic opportunities, I can also play two of my favorite sports in programs that continue to grow and get better under great coaching staffs.

Head Coach Jeff Ramsey
“If you turn on Moses Richardson's highlight tape the first thing you see is this vision. Moses knows where guys are and how to get where they aren't. Once he hits the open field, look out. He's got the speed to go the distance every time he touches the ball and he's a natural runner. He's got that great mix of being a power back and speed back. He'll run you over one time and make you trip over your feet the next.
Moses comes from a very unique background and is a very strong, independent young man who is very wise beyond his years. Everyone at Pinewood Prep had such good things to say about him that you felt like you were recruiting their own son. He will be an asset not only to our football program but also to our college. Keep your eye on Moses Richardson over the next four years, and you will not be disappointed.”

Why Moses chose Oberlin?
I chose Oberlin because it seemed like a great fit for me. Oberlin is a great academic institution, which was first on my list of priorities in my college search. I'm all for higher education. A few months ago I came up on a visit and had a great time. I enjoyed hanging out with my future teammates and meeting the coaching staff and a few of the school's administrative members. Everyone was kind and friendly and the campus was beautiful. Oberlin just felt like the perfect place for me to spend my next four years. I'm ready to get on campus August 13th and start my college career in the classroom and on the field.
