Career highlights and awards

Zak Zinter (born April 17, 2001) is an American football guard for the Michigan Wolverines.[1][2][3][4][5]

College career

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]
