WEST LAFAYETTE – Zach Donley, a 190 pound, 5 foot 10 senior at Ridgewood, signed his National Letter of Intent on Wednesday, Feb. 4 to play football at the University of Findlay. Donley will also be running track for the Oilers.
Donley, who rushed for over 1,000 yards last fall, said, “It feels good to move on with my sports career and I would like to thank my Coach Jason Prater for always being there for support and helping me get better at my sports. I would like to thank the coaching staff and my teammates.”
Donley participated in football and track for the Generals. He said a favorite memory “Was playing under the lights every Friday night.”
Donley’s mom Shannon said, “I could not be any prouder of him. He has worked so hard and it’s paying off now.”
Donley thanked the coaching staff and said, “I have good teammates.”
Ridgewood football coach John Slusser said, “Zach has worked hard and deserves what he got. I’m very happy for him. I think it was when he was a sophomore that he really decided what he wanted to do, and from then on there was no stopping him. There was no better practice player than Zach. It was a great moment for me to see the joy on his face when he started getting it and that all of his hard work was paying off.”
