Zach Gardner '27 Recruiting Profile

My name is Zach Gardner. I am currently an 8th grade student from Shamrock Junior High in Shamrock Texas, and am on track to graduate High School in 2027. I have been involved with football in some type of way since I can remember. I used to watch college football with my grandpa any time it would be on TV.  My love and passion for the game began when I started playing football in Pre-K. In third grade, I started playing tackle football and perfecting my skill. Thanks to that experience, I feel as if I can benefit any team that I am on.  I have faced some tough struggles and made some hard decisions, but everything has come together to teach me strong character, such as a good work ethic, the importance of loyalty, and respect for peers and authority figures. My goals as a collegiate athlete would be not only to play the sport I love, but also to receive an education to become a physical trainer or a law enforcement agent of some kind.  I make a good candidate for any team because I have a passion for this sport and will always try my hardest to get better for not only myself, but also for my teammates.
