JACKSBORO, TN (WLAF) – All-Region selection football player Zac Brady made it official on Tuesday. The Cougar signed to become a Patriot as he transitions from Campbell High to the University of the Cumberlands.

Though Brady had other offers, a couple of schools in Wisconsin and Maryville College, he chose to play for the Patriots in nearby Williamsburg. That closeness to home and how impressed he was with the coaches sealed the deal for the young man who wore jersey 15 for Campbell in both football and basketball.

As of now, the plan for the 6’4, 210 pound Brady is to play outside linebacker/defensive end as he played in high school. Campbell Associate Head Coach Matt Price said they tried him at different positions, and finally Coach Chris Honeycutt, a former Cougar and Cumberlands Patriot, suggested outside linebacker. “Playing outside linebacker is natural for him. All of the big defensive plays last season went through Zac. He even had two defensive scores,” said Coach Price.
