Coming from the small town of Stansbury Park, Utah, Zayne Anderson dreamed of one day playing for a Division I football team. But when you come from a town where the population is 5,145, it may be hard to get noticed – or so people told him.
But someone with the determination of Anderson didn’t need to change surroundings to achieve his goal. Starting young and with a competitive spirit, Anderson worked hard for his spot on the local little league football team. Unfortunately, he was often benched because he played behind the coach’s son.
“People who were born and raised there and whose parents were born and raised there got more playing time or attention,” said his mother, Angie.
