Jack Zelezinski '19 Recruiting Profile

I am a student athlete.  I have grown up in a house with a mother who is an elementary school principal and a grandfather who was a medical school professor.  So, obviously academics are extremely important to me.  I was a member of the National Junior Honor Society.  I have worked hard to maintain a “B” average in middle school and continue to strive for high grades as I progress through high school and eventually college.

Playing sports runs in my family.  My dad was a football player, my mom played basketball and my sister is a swimmer.  I started playing football believe it or not when I was four years old.  It was a flag football team and I played center.  I have played for several different basketball leagues as well.  I have been swimming competitively since I was four too.   Swimming has kept me flexible for all the other sports.  My last two years in middle school I played football, basketball and have even thrown shot-put and discus for the track team but my love is football.

I began playing tackle football at seven years old.  I have been a member of several All Star Teams as well as Select Football Teams.  I have played every position on the offensive line and defensive line.  I understand how both offense and defense run on the field.  I am relied on as starting center to guide my teammates.  I have been told I am very coachable.  I look forward to the rest of my high school career but even beyond that I want to play for a college team.  I am a student athlete.
