Glenbard West/2025/6'1 185LBS/GPA 3.8

[Zachary @ZackAltabarani]

My name is Zachary Altabarani, and I’m a senior at Glenbard West High School in Glen Ellyn, Illinois, graduating in 2025. I play as a starting linebacker and outside linebacker for my varsity football team, where I’ve consistently demonstrated my dedication, leadership, and work ethic. I believe I can bring those same qualities to your program.

What sets me apart as a recruit for your team is my ability to read plays quickly, my physicality, and my consistent performance. I was also recognized as "Player of the Week" this season, reflecting my impact both on and off the field.

I’m particularly drawn to your program for its reputation, strong defensive schemes, and exceptional coaching, which perfectly match my skills as a linebacker and my drive to excel.

Your team’s consistency, and commitment to discipline and teamwork are truly inspiring. I’m eager for the chance to contribute to this legacy of excellence.

and I’m excited about the opportunity to contribute to that success.

Beyond football, I take pride in balancing academics and athletics. My 3.8 GPA reflects my commitment to excelling in the classroom while performing at a high level on the field. I also volunteer in my community, which has taught me the importance of giving back and teamwork.

You can view my Highlight Video and additional recruiting materials on my NCSA profile below. I would be grateful if you could review my film and provide feedback on areas I can improve to better fit into your program. Your insight would mean a lot to me as I work toward taking my game to the next level.

If you’d like more information, please feel free to contact my coach, Chad Hetlet, at 630-469-8600, and [email protected]

Thank you for taking the time to consider me as a potential recruit. I am eager for the opportunity to join your team, bringing my passion, work ethic, and dedication to help the team continue to excel. I look forward to hearing from you!

Best regards,

Zachary Altabarani
