Breaking down the finalists

Zackery spoke with On3 about what stood out about each school

Notre Dame- “I’ve got to visit Notre Dame a lot in my recruiting process because I live in Indiana so being able to be on campus a lot and talk to everybody on the staff and build great relationships has helped me throughout my process and thoughts about them”

Florida- “I recently have gotten an offer from Florida, but I have been a fan of them since I was younger because of my older brother. They play in the SEC and have a great campus from what I’ve seen, my main goal is to get on campus to talk to the rest of the coaches.”

Michigan- “Michigan has been in contact with me a lot and has been very transparent throughout my recruiting process. There have been a lot of coaching changes especially for me because the main two guys that were recruiting me have left. The way they do things and keep a balance at Michigan stands out to me.”

Cincinnati- “Cincinnati and Coach Koombs have been recruiting me since my first year and he’s always always expressed to me that he feels like a dynamic player in college and eventually making it to the league and succeeding. He saw the potential in me my freshman year and hasn’t stopped recruiting me since.”
