Former Walk-On, Zander Horvath made a name for himself early on at Purdue. Coach Barclay realized from the time he arrived at campus that Zander wasn’t your typical Walk-On.
Zander found his way on to the field early, during his 2nd year on campus, he was playing special teams. Eventually, he became the feature back in the pass heavy Purdue Offense, but he provided many sparks in the run game.
Well, it turns out, he is an athletic freak. While he was not invited to the NFL Combine in Indianapolis, during the Pro Day at Purdue, he put up numbers that tested better than 90% of the running backs that attended the combine.
