They Said It

• Parsippany Hills head coach David Albano: “He’s a good snapper both long and short. He has also grown into his body. Last year he was undersized, but now he has become stronger. He’s ranked one of the best in the state and top 20 in the country. He has good character like his brother. Rutgers knows what kind of family he comes from and he’s a great student. Zack just has to continue progressing in getting downfield and covering punts. He got used to his body last year and he’s starting to grow into that role. He’s following his brother’s footsteps and it’s what he wanted. His brother had to work his way onto the roster as a walk-on. The Rutgers staff evaluated him, offered him and hit a home run.”
