Harvard showing strong interest in Cobras QB Zack Wynn
Hudson rising senior quarterback Zack Wynn, who has proven as prolific in the classroom as he is in the pocket, has generated considerable interest from two-time defending Ivy League champion Harvard.
Wynn, attending a camp this week at the school's Cambridge, Mass., campus, owns a grade-point average above 4.0 and scored an 1150 on his first crack at the SAT, Cobras coach Mark Nash said. He has thrown for more than 4,500 yards in three seasons as a starter.
"The (Harvard) recruiter watched his highlight film in my office and said, 'He is just what we're looking for in a quarterback,'" Nash said.
Ivy League programs don't offer athletic scholarships, but Nash said it's his understanding Wynn could be eligible for a financial-aid package that covers all his college costs. At least two former Harvard quarterbacks -- Buffalo's Ryan Fitzpatrick and the New York Jets' Chris Pizzotti -- are on NFL rosters.
