Zee Rechs grew up in a football family, in a football town in rural East Texas. As a result, it was no surprise that he played football in high school, and not only that he was good at it, making the All State football team his senior year. Zee was also a member of the baseball and powerlifting teams, setting several state powerlifting records. Despite doing well in high school, Zee was not highly recruited in football, and even failed to get a powerlifting scholarship. He had decided to go to the local community college and work on the family cattle farm, quitting football for good until his Dad convinced him to try and walk on at his alma mater, Texas A&M. Zee’s first year of college was unspectacular, and he was a backup player until the starting tight end was injured late in the season. Zee’s first college season was only mildly successful, and he thought that he might become the backup again the next season when the previous starter was healthy again. Fortunately, Zee had an amazing training camp and remained the starter that year, and for the rest of his college career. Zee excelled in college, athletically and academically, and was a highly regarded prospect upon his graduation.
