About Zachary

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

Focused. I focus on everything that’s happening on the field on both sides of the ball. On defense, I never let up and I’m constantly reading the offense to call it out to my teammates. Same on OL. I let my teammates know what’s happening across from us. It’s all about focus and communication.

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

My mentality is God, family, and football. I am a bit of a prankster until it’s time to work, then it’s all business, but fun. I work hard and play harder and I have a stay hungry attitude.

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

I am a member of Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Other than my football awards I mainly have awards and certificates for honors in mathematics. Math comes pretty easy for me. I’m currently just starting my freshman year of HS and plan to enroll in local organizations at my HS.

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

I’ve been playing football for many years now and over these years I’ve learned that having amazing leaders and coaches is the key to a successful program as well as having successful relationships with my friends and family as well as my teammates. I understand the importance of leading others and a positive, never quit attitude. I’ve learned early on that there is always room to grow and learn.

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

I have had a few challenges throughout my football journey in dealing with a couple of minor injuries. However, I looked at them as a test and pushed through my adversity I was facing at the time and over came. I always try to learn from any adversity and find the good that comes from it. “Storms don’t always come to destroy, they come to clear your path”.

What type of college are you looking for?

Although it’s very early for me talking with my parents, I want to keep my options open but focused on universities with great traditions and history. Football will change over the years and when my time to leave the game comes I want to be prepared for anything. So, colleges that focus on proper preparation for “real life” is what I will look at very closely.
