Zach Held '27 Recruiting Profile

I love wrestling, I love competing, and I embrace the process that it takes to become great. My goals for college is to become a successful wrestler and do it for as long as I can. Equally important is to graduate with honors and a degree that will put me on a path to becoming an anesthesiologist. A few of the many traits I feel I possess that make me a good candidate for your team and that separates me from other recruits would be 1) my work ethic, I don’t take practices off. I will give you everything I got on and off the mat. 2) I’m coachable, I am always looking to get better and I am extremely coachable. 3) my commitment to get better is second to none, my parents and I have been driving 4 hours a night, 3 to 4 times a week to Omaha practices and private lessons in Iowa since fifth grade. 4) My grades are excellent! You’ll never have to worry about me getting to class or me not having good grades. Good grades are important to me. I was academic all state as a freshman and will be for my entire high school career. I have many other desired traits, but just know that I am driven to be coming the best wrestler and person that I can be and I am so looking forward to this chapter in my life!
