West Catholic High School senior Andy Zimmerman
GRAND RAPIDS (WZZM)- WZZM and Meijer are pleased to recognize West Catholic High School senior Andy Zimmerman as our Meijer Scholar Athlete of the week for the week of February 6th.
Andy recently signed a national letter of intent to play football at Wayne State University in Detroit where he plans to study nursing. An excellent student, he maintains a 3.8 grade point average and is a member of the National Honor Society.
On the field, Andy helped anchor West Catholic's offensive line as the Falcons won the O-K Blue championship and advanced to the state semi-finals in the fall. He was also a member of West Catholic's 2010 division 5 state championship team.
Andy also volunteers his time in the community by coaching youth basketball and football. "I may be a really big guy," Andy told WZZM, "but I still have a really soft side to me. Some people might not think that. That a lot of linemen have soft sides. So I'm not a stereotypical lineman I guess," he added with a smile.
WZZM and Meijer congratulate Andy on his hard work and wish him well at Wayne State!
