Zion Rutledge '23 Recruiting Profile

Football has been my passion since I started playing in 1st grade.  As I am currently in my Junior year, I look forward to advancing into my college career academically and athletically.  I am a powerful linebacker with good speed that can make aggressive plays on the ball. I work hard to perfect my craft in football, wrestling, and as a track athlete. From being one of the slowest linebackers on my team, I was able to develop my speed to achieve times like an 11.09 on the 100m dash.

Academically, I have a 4.18 weighted GPA, I am in the Beta Club, the National Honors Society,  and I take rigorous classes such as AP World History and AP Calculus. Math has always been a strong suit of mine, so I would like to major in an engineering field. In my eyes, success in the classroom translates to success on the field, so I have developed a hard work ethic and time management skills.

In college, I would like to develop myself athletically to become an elite linebacker, while also pursuing a degree in engineering.
