It's Tobler Time again at Fifth Third Arena.
Zack Tobler, the former University of Cincinnati walk-on basketball player and Covington Catholic High School graduate, became a folk hero with the Bearcats' program the past four years. Now, Tobler is part of the $87 million Fifth Third renovation project with the Skanska construction team.
No, Tobler is not among the hardhat workers. Rather, he is a cost engineer who helps manage the Skanska certified payrolls division. In a recent interview with The Enquirer outside Fifth Third Arena, Tobler wore a gray polo shirt with "Skanska" emblazoned in small blue letters on the front.
