Hudl Highlights:

Coaches comment: Zack has been our leader of the offensive and defensive lines the past two seasons.  He is the type of player that has the ability to take over a game up front on both sides of the ball.  He is very athletic for his size and possesses an awesome football IQ.  We will be relying on him to win the battle of the trenches this season.
