| Zwinak runs and blocks like a bull in a china shop, he destroys whatever is in his path. He hits the hole quick and is very light on his feet for such a big back, he cuts just as well as most small backs. Once he hits the seem he has very good breakaway speed and switches the ball to the outside arm. He is a devastating lead blocker. Would like to see him run a little lower through the the line.

| Biography: |
Zwinak carried the ball 133 times for 1447 yards and 19 touchdowns as a junior. On defense he made 53 tackles, 11 tackles for loss, sacked the quarterback five times, had three interceptions and forced three fumbles. He was named Player of the Year by both the Frederick News Post and the Gazette and also earned first-team All-Area, All-Conference and All-State honors at running back. He was named second-team All-Met at running back as well.
He bench presses 330 pounds, hang cleans 360 pounds, squats 535 pounds, has a 34-inch vertical leap and runs a 4.52 short shuttle.
Head Coach Rick Conner says:
Zach is an outstanding college football prospect. He's big, fast, powerful and he loves the game. Zach started on both sides of the ball the last two years as a running back and linebacker, a tribute to his natural ability. What separates Zach from others is his athletic agility combined with his size and speed. He’s very versatile and can fill many roles. Zach made a great jump in performance from last year to his junior year. He put himself at the top of the list in Maryland and has become a national recruit. He can dominate a game on either offense or defense. Offensively, he can wear you down with his power or he can score on one play with his break-away speed from anywhere on the field. Zach is very familiar with college athletics as both his parents were scholarship athletes. (His mother ran track for North Carolina and his father played nose guard for Virginia Tech.) |
