Impact UAB's website classifies Zeno as a redshirt senior, meaning he has two more regular-season games before his college career comes to a close. The first is scheduled for Nov. 23 against Rice.

DNP against Huskies Zeno (shoulder) did not play in UAB's 31-23 loss to UConn on Saturday.
Impact Zeno was once again held out of Saturday's contest, marking his fifth consecutive missed game for the Blazers while dealing with a shoulder injury. The senior quarterback had struggled through the first four games of the season, throwing for 819 yards and six touchdowns to five interceptions, and though fellow signal-caller Jalen Kitna has had turnover issues in his time filling in, there could be a position controversy when and if Zeno is able to return this season. Zeno's next opportunity to make his return will come when the Blazers travel to face Memphis this coming Saturday.

Will remain out vs. Tulsa Zeno (shoulder) won't play against Tulsa, Steve Irvine of BhamBanner.com reports.
Impact Zeno will now miss his fourth straight game. The quarterback was solid before going down with his shoulder injury, tossing for 819 yards, six touchdowns and five interceptions. This will open the door for Jalen Kitna to play again in Week 10.

Out again Saturday Zeno (shoulder) won't play Saturday against USF, national college football writer Brett McMurphy reports.
Impact It'll be the third straight game Zeno's missed with the shoulder injury. The senior's completed 69.5 percent of his passes for 819 yards, six touchdowns and five interceptions this season. Jalen Kitna figures to remain under center while Zeno's sidelined.

No update from head coach UAB's head coach Trent Dilfer did not publicize an update for Zeno (shoulder) on Monday, Arielle Schafer of CBS 42 reports.
Impact Zeno did not play during UAB's game Saturday at the United States Military Academy. Dilfer's lack of a Zeno update does not improve the quarterback's imminent chances of availability, at least for now.

Not starting Saturday Zeno (shoulder) isn't starting Saturday's game versus Army, Lucas Gray of AL.com reports.
Impact Zeno is dealing with a shoulder issue that has kept him out last week, and it appears he's slated to miss another contest Saturday. The senior will yield Saturday's start to Jalen Kitna and will likely shift his focus toward potentially returning next week versus USF.

Slated to sit out Zeno (shoulder) was on the field with UAB's quarterbacks but wasn't dressed, Steve Irvine of The Banner reports.
Impact Zeno was considered questionable for the Tulane game, but it appears as if he's slated to sit this out one while he continues to rehab his shoulder injury. That should leave Jalen Kitna in line to start against the Green Wave.

Questionable vs. Tulane Zeno (shoulder) is considered questionable for the Blazers' game against Tulane, UAB writer Steve Irvine reports.
Impact Zeno has had an up-and-down start to his 2024 campaign, tossing for 819 yards, six touchdowns and five interceptions while completing 69 percent of his passes. If Zeno is unable to go, Jalen Kitna figures to step in to replace him, and he's reportedly been getting plenty of reps in practice.
OCTOBER 2 • ROTOWIRE
Two interceptions in loss Zeno was 14-for-22 passing for 202 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions during Saturday's 41-18 loss against Navy. He also had 14 rushes for 54 yards.
Impact Zeno did not have a great outing in Saturday's blowout loss, highlighted by him throwing a season-high two interceptions. He completed over 60 percent of his passes and threw for over 200 yards, but his lone touchdown was not enough to make the game close or salvage a productive fantasy outing. One positive sign was him rushing for a career-high 54 yards on 14 attempts. If he can consistently add that rushing upside to his decent passing numbers, he could find his way into a productive second half of the season.

Productive versus Arkansas Zeno was 23-for-32 passing for 235 yards, three touchdowns and one interception during Saturday's 37-27 defeat versus Arkansas. He also had seven rushes for nine yards.
Impact Zeno surprisingly had his most productive outing of the season Saturday as he set season highs in completion percentage, passing yards and passing touchdowns. He spread the ball around the field, targeting three different receivers five or more times and tossing a touchdown to each one of those three. After producing in what was expected to be his toughest game of the season, Zeno will look to build off of that in the conference opener versus Navy after a bye week.

Struggles in Saturday's loss Zeno completed 22 of 32 passes for 167 yards and one interception during Saturday's 32-6 defeat versus Louisiana-Monroe. He also had 11 rushes for negative three yards.
Impact Zeno turned the ball over twice Saturday -- an interception and a lost fumble -- and threw for under 170 yards. It was a rough performance from him and one he will soon want to forget. Unfortunately for him he faces a much more difficult matchup at Arkansas this Saturday, so it's best to avoid relying on him in fantasy until conference play starts.

Impact Zeno put together a solid performance to start the 2024 campaign, highlighted by his two touchdown passes. He also added 37 yards on the ground, a mark he achieved only once last season. The only major downside to his performance was an interception he threw in the red zone during the second quarter, but other than that it was a clean outing. He faces two road out-of-conference opponents next before transitioning to conference play.

Impact Zeno completed over 70 percent of his passes for the seventh time this season and is now second in the country in completion percentage of players who have attempted at least 100 passes, sitting only behind Heisman candidate Bo Nix.

Available for Week 10 Zeno (undisclosed) is available for UAB's game Saturday against Florida Atlantic, freelance writer Steve Irvine reports.
Impact Zeno sat out only one of three games UAB played across October. During the month, he completed 69.6 percent of his 46 passes for 463 passing yards and four touchdowns. Zeno being available likely relegates Harrison Barker to a backup quarterback again.
