Anthony Joseph Zettel (born August 9, 1992) is an American former professional football player who was a defensive end in the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Penn State Nittany Lions. He was selected by the Detroit Lions in the sixth round of the 2016 NFL draft.

Early life

[edit | edit source]

Zettel attended Ogemaw Heights High School in West Branch, Michigan, where he was a first-team all-state selection as a senior. He recorded 82 solo tackles, 25 assisted tackles and dropped the quarterback in the backfield seven times as a senior.

Zettel also lettered in baseball, basketball and track & field at Ogemaw Heights. As a senior in track, he set the Michigan high school state record in the shot put with a toss of 61 feet 8 inches (18.80 meters), earning his second straight state championship and breaking both the school record (60'9") and the Division II state record (58'8"). That same year, he finished second in the discus with a heave of 175 feet 4 inches (53.44 meters).[1] He also participated in sprints, running the 100-meter dash in 11.55 seconds and helping Ogemaw's 400m sprint relay post a season-low 45.95 in 2010.[2]

Zettel was rated as a four-star recruit and was listed as the nation's No. 6 prep defensive end by Rivals.com.
