Zak is the son of the popular ESPN broadcaster. 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 as a full member of the team 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.
