I’m a part of Flag Star because…
I want to be a positive influence on kid’s lives.

consistency
Favorite intro/pump-up song:
Is this love -Bob Marley
Favorite Sports Movie:

Who was your favorite youth coach and what did he/she teach you:
Coach Kostival... he really just believed in me and sometimes a kid just needs positive support to help them blossom.
Who’s the best friend you made through sports:
Joe Burrow because unfortunately my college career didn’t go well, so most of my biggest sports memories were with him.
What’s your most cringe-worthy sports moment / biggest failure:
We played St. Vincent St. Mary’s in the state semis my junior year... I had the worst half I’ve had in sports with a fumble and multiple drops. I ended up leading us in receptions that game and caught the game winning touchdown to send us to the state championship game. My position coach at halftime asked my OC in front of me if we should bench me in the second half and the OC said “no way. You’re good right Z.” I said yes and really just locked in.
What are your off-field interests/hobbies:
music and nature
What’s your favorite quote:
“Some people feel the rain, others just get wet” or “What we do in life echos in eternity.”
