Zak Zinter (born April 17, 2001) is an American football guard for the Michigan Wolverines.[1][2][3][4][5]
College career[edit]
In 2021, Zinter was part of Michigan's offensive line that won the Joe Moore Award. At the end of the 2022 regular season, Zinter was selected by the conference coaches as a first-team offensive guard on the 2022 All-Big Ten Conference football team. All three of Michigan's interior offensive lineman (Zinter, Olusegun Oluwatimi, and Trevor Keegan) were named to the first team by the conference coaches.[6] He was also named to the Outland Trophy watch list.[7]
On November 25, 2023, in a game against rival Ohio State, Zinter sustained a broken tibia and fibula and was taken off the field on a cart; it was later announced he would miss the remainder of the season.[8][9][10]
