Zack chose UMHB because he wanted to play baseball for the Cru. His career goal is to become an orthopedic surgeon. Zack’s pregame ritual is to drink a “Dr Peppy” and his hidden talent is juggling. If Zack could win an Olympic gold medal, he’d compete in the 100-meter dash against Usain Bolt and if he could trade places with a professional athlete, he’d be Robinson Cano. Zack’s nickname is Whiddy and his dream vacation destination is Paris, France. Zack’s most memorable sports moment was hitting a walk-off hit against Hendrix College to give UMHB a 2-1 win in extra innings last season.

Zack is studying biology at UMHB. He was an all-district baseball player at Taylor High School. Zack is a transfer from Alvin Community College and the son of Buddy and Tonia Whiddon.
