zach CHRISTOPHERSON

Zach Christopherson finished his football career at Western Oregon University with a bang. He led a defense that was one of the top in NCAA Division II and was named Athlete of the Year for football. He also led the team with 53 tackles and 4 interceptions. In addition to being a smart football player, Zach was named to ESPN the Magazine's first team All-District Academic squad.
Zach is also a tenacious player, having played the entire 2007 season with a broken thumb. A smart, quick and aggressive player, Zach would be an asset to any team looking for a powerful presence in the back field or on special teams.
