Zach Greene, Leesville Road’s outstanding football receiver and defensive back, will graduate in December and enroll at Duke in January.
“Zach is a very serious minded young man and he thought graduating early and getting started at Duke would help him more than staying at Leesville and taking courses he didn’t need,” said Dwayne Greene, Zach’s father.
The only course Zach needed to graduate at the start of the year was English, but he also took honors physics and calculus this fall.
Dwyane Greene said Duke coach Dave Cutcliffe mentioned during the recruiting process that Zach consider graduating early and getting a head start academically.
“Zach will go through spring practice with the team, but he’ll also set up the possibility of graduating before using all his eligibility and working on his graduate degree.”
Zach is expected to major in economics or engineering at Duke.
