I am profiling Aristotle Zarris, a freshman midfielder on the men’s soccer team. Zarris wasted no time getting involved in his rookie year, and he has become one of the team’s key contributors.
His success was not unexpected, as Zarris entered Wake Forest as a highly-touted athlete, considered a four-star prospect and ranked No. 42 in the nation by TopDrawerSoccer.
This season, Zarris has scored four goals and has five assists. He also has played significant minutes in important ACC match-ups all year.
I have been in contact with Aristotle, and he is completely open to working with me for this project. As of now, I plan on asking him who he thinks I should interview about his pre-college career, but I, personally, believe that I should reach out to one of his parents and a high school or club coach.
I also would also like to ask Aristotle who of his teammates would be best to interview for this article, as I would like to get a glimpse into his personal life from someone with whom he spends a lot of time.
