Zack Bailey is a native of Summerville, South Carolina where he starred for the local high school as one of the best lineman in the state. Despite playing a very non-glamorous position, he still managed to be one of five finalists for South Carolina’s Mr. Football Award. As a four-star prospect, Bailey decided to stay close to home by committing to play his college ball at the University of South Carolina.
Bailey didn’t have to wait long to see some significant playing time as he recorded five starts as a true freshman with two coming at left guard and three coming at center.
