Zachary Brand '21 Recruiting Profile

The opportunity to play varsity football as a freshman during playoffs was the highlight of my high school career so far.  Sophomore year I felt I experienced the most growth as a student-athlete. Sophomore year was a rebuilding year for our football team after losing 33 seniors the prior year. That experience helped me grow both physically and mentally as an athlete and led me to re-focus on my own efforts as an impactful player in high school and set the stage to be a dynamic player at the college level.

I was fortunate to be a part of amazing football programs since early childhood. My coaches helped me appreciate the value of understanding the fundamentals of football and a genuine passion for the game. I have learned that teamwork, commitment, focus, passion and leadership are key attributes for success in life and on the field.  I’m looking for a program that will be a good fit for me athletically and academically. I believe I not only have the talent to compete at the college level, but the focus, commitment, character, work ethic, and leadership skills to create impact within your program. Most importantly, I will conduct myself with honor and respect on and off the field, knowing that the way I carry myself reflects my team, my coaches and the school I attend.
