Zachary hails from Carrolton (Ga.). CU recruited Georgia very well due to the connections with Mel Tucker and Tyson Summers. Summers remained on staff as the defensive coordinator and has a ton of connections to the Peach State. 

Colorado was the first school to pop up in his top six and he holds the Buffs in high regard due to his relationship with Michalowski and he has family living in the west.
