Zachary Jackson '19 Recruiting Profile

As the oldest of 5 children, I am driven, self-motivated, coachable and a leader.  I set goals and work very hard to attain and surpass them.  When I see a weakness in myself, I have learned to identify it and acknowledge it.  Then I can tackle it head-on and hopefully overcome it.  I pride myself in being a person of high integrity and character.  I challenge anyone on the field to out work me.

I can't remember when my love for baseball began.  For as long as I can remember I have been a student of the game.  In fact, my mom says my first word was ball.  Baseball motivates me in every area of my life, from maintaining my grades to making wise choices.  My goal is, and has been, to play at the collegiate level.  That plan has never waivered.

As I enter the last two seasons of my high school career, I hope I leave a positive lasting impression on the lives of my teammates, my coaches and my siblings.  I desire more than anything to continue using baseball as a platform to impact lives through a university that will encourage me in that endeavor.
