Brady Zapoticky is a highly decorated quarterback from Dallas High School. He has already made his mark at the high school level and is now focused on making an impact at Shippensburg University.

During his time at Dallas, Zapoticky helped lead his team to two district championship appearances, winning one, and played a key role in their run to the 2023 PIAA Class 4A State Championship Game. His performance on the field earned him First Team All-District and All-Conference honors in 2023, and in 2024. He was also named Offensive Player of the Year in the conference along with another First Team All-Conference selection.

Now at the collegiate level, Brady is pursuing a degree in finance while continuing to chase his goals on the football field. His top priorities are earning a starting quarterback role and developing into the best version of himself both as a player and a person.

Much of his early success can be credited to the influence of his older brother Ryan Zapoticky. Ryan not only coached and trained Brady growing up but served as a trusted mentor who helped shape his football IQ and work ethic.

"Keep your nose down and work hard. Anything can be achieved through hard work and consistency."

With the work ethic he has and the pedigree of a proven leader, Brady Zapoticky is a name to watch as he rises through the ranks at Shippensburg.
