2020 Guest Speaker
Zaire Franklin '14

Indianapolis Colts

 

Zaire Franklin ’14

Zaire Franklin is a linebacker for the Indianapolis Colts. He was drafted by the Colts in the seventh round, 235th overall, of the NFL Draft in 2018. He made his NFL debut on September 9, 2018 against the Cincinnati Bengals, recording one tackle on special teams. He made his first career start at linebacker on September 23, 2018 against the Philadelphia Eagles, notching one tackle on defense and another on special teams. In his rookie season, Franklin appeared in all 16 regular season games, starting two, and recorded 29 tackles and one pass defended.

Prior to playing professional football, Franklin attended Syracuse University, where he recorded 311 career tackles over the course of 48 total games and started the final 39 games of his career. He was the second three-time captain in the history of Syracuse Football and the first since 1896. He was also a two-time All-Atlantic Coast Conference selection.

Zaire Franklin graduated six months early with a degree in finance and was equally impressive off the field. He is an active member and former president of the Omega Psi Phi fraternity chapter at Syracuse University. He helped organize and lead campus discussions on locker-room talk and the role of fatherhood in black communities. In addition, Franklin and other fraternity brothers would regularly visit Van Duyn Elementary School in downtown Syracuse and donate new backpacks filled with school supplies.

Zaire Franklin got his start at La Salle College High School, where he was an All-Catholic and All-City selection his junior and senior year, and an All-State selection as a senior. He led the Explorers to Philadelphia Catholic League and District 12 Championships as a sophomore and junior. He also served as Senior Class President and a Kairos leader. During his junior year, Franklin lost his mother and, two months later, lost his maternal grandmother. With the passing of both of his primary caregivers, Zaire was able to continue at La Salle through funds made available by the Men of La Salle.
