Zak is the son of popular ESPN broadcaster Kirk Herbstreit. Kirk was notably a quarterback for the Buckeyes during the 1980s-90s.
The younger Herbstreit joined Ryan Day’s Ohio State program as a walk-on in the 2021 recruiting class. Zak shed his black stripe last season during fall training camp with the Buckeyes.
Stay tuned for more updates on Zak’s status. Hopefully this proves to be a minor setback for the young Buckeye.
