Defensive Coordinator the past 2 seasons, in addition to coaching Safeties (2025) and Linebackers (2024). Former Safety at Clarion University.

Looking to break into the college ranks as a position coach or volunteer. Also open to HS DC or position coach opportunities.

[Robert Bo Garritano @cufootballalum]

It is with extreme sadness to inform you that Clarion Football Alumni Mike Zak, age 35 has passed away. Nathan Conway sent this notice and another teammate Mike Felker ordered this memorial sign on behalf of The 2013 Football Squad
"In memory of Mike Zak #30 Donated by the Class of 2013"

We offer our sincere condolences to his wife, children and family.

[Coach Rivera @CoachPJRivera]

This is a tough one for me.

Mike was a good dude with a great sense of humor. He always knew how to make everyone smile, especially during our DB meetings.

Praying for his soul and his family. 🤲 Rest in peace, Mike.

What a team. CB West vs @BethlehemCatholicHS games were legendary. I remember watching them on RCN. Pure PA football. Couldn't wait to play for the #GoldenHawks
