Zack (David) Ratliff '16 Recruiting Profile

First, I would like to thank you for taking the time to view my profile. My goal is to achieve a Bachelor's Degree while playing collegiate football.  I am undecided in my major at this time but am interested in criminal justice and secondary education.  I am an extremely coachable and determined athlete who sets big goals and achieves them.  I am a hard hitter and always the first off the line. I respect my coaches and do what I am told.  I put full trust in my brothers on the field and always back them up.  On defense I'm excellent at always knowing where the ball is and on offense I make sure to always protect our ball.  I give 110% on the field and in the weight room. I was third in conference for sacks. I was selected as an Offense-Defense All-American and played in the All-American Bowl in Orlando as a Junior. I was selected by the coaches to play both sides of the ball during the game and received lot of playing time and experience. I also participate in Track and Field as a shot put and discuss thrower. Track allows me to be able to stay conditioned and work on my speed during the Spring.
