Zachary Wilfried Sieler (born September 7, 1995) is an American professional football defensive end[1] for the Miami Dolphins of the National Football League (NFL).[2] He played college football at Ferris State, and was selected by the Baltimore Ravens in the seventh round of the 2018 NFL draft.

Early life

[edit]

Sieler was born in Pinckney, Michigan as the eldest of three sons. In high school, Sieler was a three-sport athlete. He competed in track and field and amateur wrestling. In wrestling, Sieler was a state championship participant.[3]

In football, Sieler played as a strong-side defensive end with the Pinckney Pirates.[4] Sieler served the Pinckney Pirates as team captain and was named Athlete of the Year in his senior class.[3] Despite standing 6 ft 6 in (1.98 m) and weighing 280 pounds (127 kg), Sieler was considered undersized and was not a highly-rated recruiting prospect. He would later make high school history as the first NFL recruit from Pinckney.[5] He accepted his only athletic scholarship offer made by Ferris State University.[6]

College career

[edit]

Sieler joined the Ferris State Bulldogs in 2013 as a walk-on.[5] After redshirting the 2013 season, Sieler joined the field the following season and was part of the playoff squad that won the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Championship during the 2014 and 2015 seasons. He earned GLIAC's Defensive Lineman of the Year and National Defensive Player of the Year honors during the 2015 and 2016 seasons. His contributions enabled the Ferris State Bulldogs to reach the 2016 NCAA Division II National Semifinals game.[3] He did not play his senior season, opting instead to enter the 2018 NFL draft.
