Zachary Hannibal

I am Zachary O'Neal Hannibal, son of Roderick and Cathy Hannibal, and brother of Cortney Bibby Logan. My nickname is “Zeno.” It signifies strength and swagger. My date of birth is March 26, 1998. Athleticism is in my lineage. My Father, Roderick, played basketball at LA Tech from 1983-87. Since the age of two, I’ve been interested in sports and showcasing my athleticism. I started playing soccer when I was three years old, and have been playing sports ever since. Soccer was the foundation for me falling in love with football. My high value of education and love for the game of football allowed me to obtain a scholarship from Louisiana Tech University to fulfill my passion, playing football. Currently, I’m seeking to take my athleticism to the next level and play in the NFL. A growth mindset is a major aspect of who I am as a person.
