Zackary Ninekirk '20 Recruiting Profile

            I’m an aggressive and strong athlete who loves to play the game of football!  I have been playing football for nine years; six years of youth football and three years of high school, two of them as a varsity starter.  I am very goal oriented.  My main focus has always been to play football at the college level, live my life to the fullest and 100% towards God.  I work hard in school and keep my body strong and healthy.  While playing two varsity sports in high school and maintaining my grades, I also volunteer in my community through local charities.  I have been an active member of our local chapter of "Boys Team Charity" since 2015.  Some of the things I have participated in through Boys Team Charity are:  fixing bikes for underprivileged children, working at the Food Bank, working in the local Hospice store and preparing special items to be given to families in need at the beginning of school and holiday times.  I am a captain on my varsity football team at Berean Christian High School, I was an NCS varsity wrestler during my sophomore year on the Berean wrestling team, and received the Second Team All Conference Defensive End award as a junior. As the oldest child of three boys in my family, I have learned valuable leadership qualities.  The way that I conduct myself in my family has always served as an example to my younger brothers.  I have always felt a strong responsibility to show them how to be responsible and work hard. I want to play to the best of my ability as a Christian athlete and as a leader on and off the field.  I want to have fun and play the sport that I truly love.  When I play, I put all of my effort and dedication forward and I always pray to God knowing that He has a plan for me.  By prayer, I know that my life has meaning and strength. I love to get after it on and off the field.  I only have so many years to play this game and I don’t want to put any of that time to waste.  I am excited for you to check out my profile and I’m looking forward to connecting with a school and team that I can contribute to.
