Andrew Zeller took his first commercial flight to Chicago for Big Ten media days, briefly leaving behind what has been a grueling summer. The fifth-year senior offensive lineman for Maryland says he grew up with a blue-collar mentality in Red Lion, Pa., and his work ethic has become part of his persona on the field in College Park. He interned with the U.S. Marshals last summer. The last three months have been devoted to two master’s courses in supply chain management– one in Washington, the other in Shady Grove.
“I really focused on doing well in those classes,” he said.
