Welcome Zach!

[DIBISON]

Good to see another North Dakota recruit commit to the Bison!

[BisManBison]

I wonder if (or perhaps I should ask how) he is related to former Bison Monte Kubas?

[Mr Meaty]

Welcome to the Herd.

[EC8CH]

That's affirmative.

[BFKasper14]

Welcome to the Bison family, Zach! Always love getting these ND offensive linemen.

Knowing Monte and most of his family, Zach is a beast and can't wait to see what he turns into after a few years with the strength and conditioning regimen

Always fun to get the Bison tradition to follow bloodlines. Welcome to the team, Zach.

[HerdBot]

Watched this kids highlights and he is so dominant it actually made me laugh.

[Kujava23]

Congratulations on becoming a BISON!!

His actual highlights. The other videos on hudl don't show much of anything.

[Tony Almeida]

Hope they consider him on defense as well...I know he would like to play defense if given the opportunity after talking to his dad and uncle. He can definitely play either side...

[bison once]

I know and have recently visited with his dad. I have also had the opportunity to watch Zach throughout his career. First, Zach just wants an opportunity to play football at NDSU. He is not set on one side of the ball. IMO he could play DL. However, that would be limited to DT. He is not a typical DE at 6' 5" and 260# and growing. I don't think he has the "quick twitch" that you see in our DE's today. The schools that looked at him (with one exception) all wanted him to play OL. They felt his upside was greatest at that position. I would defer to a college coaches evaluation to put a kid in the best position to succeed.

DL is exactly what I had in mind, I do not think he is a DE....and an opportunity indeed is what he wants, it's what everybody wants...but that doesn't mean he can't favor one side of the ball over the other....heck I did and I think most kids you talk to will say the same....but again, you take the opportunity you are given.

I didn't think my post above warranted a common sense explanation...

Dickinson Press' article on Zach Kubas signing:



By attending NDSU, Kubas is following in the footsteps of his father,
Monte, who was a defensive lineman there in the early 1990s, and
his maternal grandfather, James Churchill, who was a running back.

.....the family ties, winning culture, comfort level and respected
academics — he said he plans to major in agribusiness — at NDSU
made the decision easier.
