CRESCO - Crestwood senior Zach Mehmert will be trading the blue and white for the purple and gold next year.
On Dec. 21, Mehmert signed a National Letter of Intent to play football at the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls during the 2023-24 school year. Zach, who was a three-year starter on the Cadet football team, is the son of Brent and Kelly Mehmert of Cresco.
Mehmert said he is excited to continue his football career so close to home.
“I like the fact that UNI is so close to home,” Zach noted. “I always went to Panther football games when I was younger, so I was happy to get the opportunity to go there.
“I was also looking at Northwest Missouri State University, but then UNI called me. I went down to Cedar Falls for a visit, and it was an easy decision for me,” he said.
