Recruitment Rundown
There was never another school Ziegler was going to attend following Notre Dame's offer. The kid has a Notre Dame mural in his basement, but also is part of a family full of Notre Dame alum that includes his grandfather (Tim Sullivan) and great uncle (Fred Trosko Jr.) playing for the Irish. Oh, for good measure, Ziegler and Joshua Burnham were born on St. Patrick's Day.

ISD Expert Jamie Uyeyama
I really like Ziegler’s potential as a Rover and then eventually moving inside. He has the kind of speed and length that projects really well and he’s an excellent tackler in space.

Some places rated as a safety, but he’s clearly a linebacker at the college level and already has experience playing in an off the ball role in the box showcasing it. I love his instincts and think he can become a high-level starter for the Irish if he develops like he should over the next few years.

Favorite ISD Quote
"I was a little emotional because it's crazy just going there as a kid and always wanting to there or play somewhere big,” stated Ziegler. “The opportunity is finally happening, so it's cool to see the hard work paying off."
