The Liberty Flames are having quite the impressive run over the past several weeks. The Flames have surged to a 6-0 start to the 2020 season, including the program’s first ever win over an ACC opponent when Liberty defeated Syracuse. This strong start has Liberty receiving votes in both the AP and Coaches Top 25 polls over the past couple of weeks, and the Flames are knocking on the door of reaching the top 25 for the first time ever.
That success has started to spill over onto the recruiting front where Hugh Freeze landed the school’s highest rated recruit ever in 4-star defensive end Khristian Zachary. Here’s a look at what everyone is saying about the 6’3″, 250 pound defensive end and his commitment choice.
