- Zach Wrightsil
- Yesterday we led with Alex Gross, and mentioned him as one of the favorites to win National Player of the Year. Today, we will follow suit with another POY candidate in Zach Wrightsil. What Zach has done at Loyola is incredible. He is now a 3x, soon to be 4x, NAIA All-American. Last night he became the All-Time leading scorer at Loyola and very soon, he will be the All-Time leading assist man as well. It’s been an amazing career for the future pro!
