11W FUTURES: CINCINNATI MOELLER'S 2019 OFFENSIVE LINEMAN ZACH CARPENTER
The 11W Futures series introduces new names to the Ohio State recruiting world.
At Cincinnati's Moeller High School, high-quality football is not an option.
The Crusaders have won nine state titles since 1975 and are once again one of the state's premier high school football teams. Moeller isn't your standard football program.
Zach Carpenter, Moeller's new left tackle, isn't your standard high school freshman, either.
"I'm 6-foot-3 and 270-pounds," Carpenter told
Eleven Warriors.
14-years-old, the
starting left tackle for Cincinnati Moeller. If you're an Ohio football fan, you appreciate how unique this situation is. It was not something Carpenter thought was going to happen, but he's making sure that the ride isn't just a novelty; he wants to get better and be remembered. He worked hard in preparation for his freshman year and now he aims to stay where he is: an important piece of the depth chart.
"Since the end of last football season," Carpenter said. "I've been lifting with my dad, and that's helped me a lot when I came in. I had to get myself in shape, so I've been doing a lot of running on my own. The speed of the game is a lot faster than eighth grade football so I had to get used to it, and I know I have to really work for it."
