Arizona QB Zach Werlinger trades helmet for reporter’s mic

Aug 25, 2016, 6:05 AM

During the Arizona Wildcats’ media day, sophomore quarterback Zach Werlinger unleashed his inner reporter.

Werlinger worked the room at the Lowell-Stevens Football facility, speaking to teammates, head coach Rich Rodriguez and actual members of the media.

The topics: Beard secrets, his own recruiting ranking, his one game of experience (which included a touchdown) and how to spell Zack/Zach.

Werlinger was a 2-star recruit out of Basha High School in Chandler, Ariz., but we think he’s a 4-star reporter with the potential to crack 5-star status.
