Ramblin Jesters Young 7s Player Of The Month: Zac Tavenner
Zac Tavenner is our Young Sevens Player Of The Month for a special reason.
Really, it's about what you need in a sevens player. Tavenner is quick, elusive, powerful, intelligent, and works hard. He covers almost all the bases. The one base he doesn't cover? Height. He's about 5-7, but that's not a detriment for the Cal wing.
In this case, Tavenner's low-to-the-ground style allows him to break tackles and his acceleration, coupled with his strength, have made him a huge weapon for Cal in the West Coast 7s and the upcoming PAC 7s.
"I always try to go for the shoulders because that's the weakest point, and go for it," said Tavenner. "[Winning the West Coast 7s] was a great feeling and we're playing well as a team. We're looking forward to hosting the PAC 7s and showing what we can do at home.
Zac Tavenner is our Ramblin’ Jesters Young 7s Player of the Month.
