Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School (MVRHS) football standout Zach Moreis signed a letter of intent last week to attend Nichols College in Dudley, where he plans to play Bison football at the NCAA Division III school.

He signed his commitment at MVRHS last week, with a crowd of well-wishers and teammates in attendance.

Moreis, a MVRHS senior, played at the varsity level all four years. A speedy, punishing running back and receiver, Mories also backstopped the Vineyarder secondary on the defensive side of the ball. He was selected to the Eastern Athletic Conference all-star team for his play in the 2017 season.
