 Follow Up On Nick Zakelj 

(Fordham Class of 2021/2022)

You may recall that we did a brief mention of Zakelj when he was drafted into the NFL 2022. He will be starting his 4th season with the San Francisco 49ers this year. He is also rooming with the team’s starting quarterback, Brock Purdy. Please check out this brief article from Sports Illustrated. 


It is primarily about the QB but our fellow Ram gets a few mentions:  https://www.si.com/nfl/2023/10/13/49ers-brock-purdy-opens-living-teammate-nick-zakelj


Wow, two single guys, making about $2 million between them, are sharing a place? Well, that’s the California Bay area I guess; I mention that next time you think your neighborhood is pricey. 




Zakelj has a BS, in Finance and a Master’s degree; both from the Gabelli School of Business. (2021/2022)*

In the course of the Southampton campus tenure under Long Island University, it produced 34 Fulbright scholars, most of which hailed from the marine science program. After many years of fiscal mismanagement, the University announced a multimillion-dollar capital campaign, launched a new interdisciplinary CORE curriculum and the construction of a new library to revamp the campus. After one year of a 10-year plan however, Long Island University officials ceased all plans, and Long Island University decided to effectively close the campus. On March 24, 2006, SUNY announced a final agreement for the purchase of the 81-acre (330,000 m2) Southampton College property from L.I.U. SUNY paid US $35 million ($54,792,500 in 2025.) for the 84-acre campus and its waterfront facility for its famed Marine Biology Department, as well as the NPR-affiliated WLIU FM...
