Personal Statement
I am a wide out and defensive back with a love of the game that will never stop. I have been playing organized football since 6th grade. Growing up as the youngest I always wanted to strive to beat my older brother, I think my relationship with my brother helped me to become a football player who never quits and always gets back up from a hit. I am a receiver who can be put in any situation needed. My goal is to play the highest level of football possible while getting a great education in areas such as Engineering, Marketing, Business or Psychology. I asked my coaches to give a quote about me because I believe that others input on yourself is more important than someone’s input on themselves.
Brendan Curtain, Head football coach, RBHS:
“Dean takes great pride in polishing his skills and taking his game to the next level. After being promoted to varsity squad after week 3 (soph. year 2013), Zigulich led RBHS in all receiving categories. Dean is a great route runner and has tremendous talent in terms of hand eye coordination. Dean will prove to be an asset to whichever school he chooses to play at the next level.”
“Dean Zigulich, only a sophomore, has great hands and an unparalleled work ethic to go along with his exceptionally high football IQ for the game.
Scott Collie, C.E.O ReceiverTech, ex-professional receiver:
“I had an opportunity to work with Dean at a RT skills training in Illinois. While still young, Dean possesses an understanding of the receiver position. Good hands and catches the ball away from his body. He sees the ball into his hands naturally. He is beginning to use his hips as he explodes out of routes to create separation even against faster corners. His continued physical development will aid in that even more. Nice body control as he adjusts to balls.”
“Attitude solid. He is passionate about being the best and you can’t teach that.”
Kevin Turk, Head Sophomore football coach, RBHS:
“In my 10 years of coaching, I have never coached a player like Dean. He not only is a key contributor, but knows every situation and is a leader and coach on the field.
