AKRON, Ohio — The University of Akron football program, led by second-year head coach Tom Arth, was able to pick up right where it left off following the strong December signing period. In December, the Zips signed 20 prospects to the Class of 2020, which featured talented student-athletes from the top programs in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Georgia. On Wednesday, the Zips were able to ink an additional four prospects to round out the foundational class for Arth and the Akron Zips' program.

"It's a very exciting day for us here at The University of Akron," Arth said. "It's a great day for our football program. I'm very happy to announce the signing of so many outstanding young men and football players who are going to be able to contribute to our football program in so many special ways. This past month has been very good for us. Our coaching staff has worked diligently to sign great players from as many great programs from this area and from around the region to contribute to our program in unique ways."

Being able to sign talented prospects from the region's top programs is a priority for Arth and his staff. For the Class of 2020, he was able to make tremendous strides towards achieving that goal. Eighteen student-athletes are from the state of Ohio, six are from Pennsylvania, and four are from Michigan.

Having championship pedigree is another core principle that Arth looks for in the recruiting process. Of the 24 signees, six were part of championship teams. Spring signee DB DiMarco Johnson (Irmo, S.C.) was a part of four state championship teams at Dutch Fork HS. Anthony Grimes (Pittsburgh, Pa.) hails from Penn Hills HS, also the home to former S Shawn Featherstone and redshirt freshman S Corey Thomas, which won the 2018 state championship. Quarterback Ryan Jankowski (Vero Beach, Fla.) led Vero Beach HS to the Florida state record with 62 consecutive regular-season wins. Wide receiver Konata Mumpfield (Hoschton, Ga.) helped Dacula HS to four years of undefeated regional play.

From the February signees, production seems to be a constant theme that is visible by all of these talented players.

Ryan Jankowski finished third in voting for the 8A State Player of the Year. He also finished with a career completion percentage of 72.8% and threw 22 touchdowns compared to only four interceptions as a senior.
Konata Mumpfield led his conference with 13 receiving touchdowns. In addition, he added three punt return touchdowns, and three Interceptions, one of which he returned for a touchdown. He finished the season on the All-State Team.
Wide receiver George Qualls (Caruthersville, Mo.) was a four-time Offensive Player of the week in the Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference (widely regarded as the nation's top junior college league) while at Butler Community College. In 12 games, he totaled 798 yards and six touchdowns on 47 receptions. Prior to arriving at Butler, Qualls was a standout at Caruthersville HS. Statistically, Qualls put up one of the best single seasons in program history. He had over 1,300 receiving yards and 24 touchdowns. He was an All-District and All-Region selection for his efforts.
Defensive lineman Julius Hawkins (St. Petersburg, Fla.), the Defensive Lineman out of Boca Ciega HS, finished the regular season with 94 tackles which led the county for a defensive lineman, and a school single-season record of 18 sacks.
Redshirt sophomore DB Charles Amankwaa (Hillsborough, N.J.), was a first-team defensive back at Monroe College. He had 18 break-ups, four interceptions and a touchdown.
DiMarco Johnson finished the season with six interceptions. He had a total of 88 tackles on the season, 11 of which came in the state championship victory.
In addition to winning a state championship, Anthony Grimes amassed 85 receptions for over 1,200 yards and 23 touchdowns in his illustrious career. He finished on the All-Conference team as a junior and senior.
Wide receiver Nolan Labuda (Belle Vernon, Pa.) had 70 receptions for 880 yards and 18 touchdowns as well as 80 tackles and 13 interceptions. He set eight school records at Belle Vernon HS in Pittsburgh.
Gamari Peterson (Cleveland, Ohio), a captain at Glenville HS, was known as a defensive ballhawk for his ability to seek out the football. His 78 tackles and five forced fumbles earned him a spot on the All-State team.
Owen Faulkner (Sunbury, Ohio) from DeSales HS was a two-way threat that was able to set the school record for the most receptions in a season (50). He will play defensive back for the Zips.

√    Six Zips were part of state championship teams.
√    Eighteen (18) signees played multiple sports in high school.
