About Zahmar

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

My gameplay style is aggressive and intense. I’m athletic and have a mean streak on the field, which helps me dominate both as a Defensive Lineman and at Right Tackle. I can play inside or outside, depending on what the team needs. I’m always ready to adapt, and I’m coachable, so I take what my coaches say and apply it to improve my game."

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

"I’m driven and focused, always aiming to push myself and be the best on the field. I have a competitive edge and a bit of a mean streak that fuels my intensity during games. But off the field, I’m coachable and open to learning, always looking to grow and improve. I believe in working hard, staying disciplined, and being a reliable teammate."

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

No.

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

"I've developed strong teamwork skills, especially from playing both defense and offense. Working closely with my teammates on the line has taught me how to communicate and trust others to get the job done. I’ve also developed leadership qualities by stepping up when needed, whether it's helping younger players or keeping the team focused during tough moments. Community service is something I’ve s

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

"One of the biggest challenges I faced was proving myself to play on JV as an 8th grader. Competing against older players who were bigger and stronger pushed me to work harder and earn my spot. Since then, I’ve focused on developing my body by losing body fat and building muscle to become more competitive. It wasn’t easy, but I committed to a strict workout routine and better nutrition.

What type of college are you looking for?

"I'm looking for a college that’s a Power 5 school, where the competition is top-tier, but education is still the priority. I want a school that values player development, both on and off the field, helping me grow as an athlete and as a person. It's also important to me to play under a coach with prestige—someone who has a strong track record of success and can help me reach my full potential.

player_tooltip player_id=’1294921′ first=’Zahmar’ last=’Tookes’] is one of the biggest leverage killers of them all. At length, Tookes presented a large amount of leverage at the DT and OT positions. Formerly, the athleticism that he possessed was off the charts, especially lined up at multiple techniques. Forthwith the complete balance on both sides of the football granted Tookes a high success rate within winning leverage battles. Whether it was squaring up as a blocker or shedding blocks quickly, his strength at the POA was strong! Many times, he had complete control over his opponent on numerous occasions.
