CHICAGO — The tales of Anthony Zettel’s athletic feats might have no limit.
So far the stories of Penn State’s 6-foot-4, 284-pound defensive tackle include driving a golf ball 300-plus yards, whipping a football almost as far as quarterback Christian Hackenberg, roundhouse kicks on the heavy bag in the weight room and throwing down dunks in pickup basketball games. He beat Hackenberg in golf recently by what Zettel recalls as two strokes, though he said neither played their best.
There’s also a viral video of Zettel tackling a tree in the woods at home in Michigan and his recent hole in one, the second of his career.
