Some people take on qualities and become leaders, while others are born leaders as they inherently just know what to do in order to get others to follow them naturally. For University of South Alabama defensive lineman Zach Befort, the latter applies. That — along with an internal desire to make sure he did things right out on the field — would ultimately help the Wichita, Kan., native become one of the main leaders for the Jaguar defense.
Befort started playing football in second grade for the Westside Bears, one of the local pee wee teams that his dad coached.
