Switzer's Tryout: Grandson of Barry in Cowboys Camp

On May 3rd, while the spotlight at the Cowboys rookie minicamp this weekend hit the big draft

names like Caleb Downes and Malachai Lawrence, one, standout wasn't even on the official

roster.

Zach Switzer, grandson of legendary Cowboys coach Barry Switzer, earned a tryout in

by Tiffila position need alongside the drafted guys and, undrafted free agents.

Switzer kicked off college ball at Memphis before wrapping up at Presbyterian and FCS

School, where he racked up over 1,100.

All purpose yards last season.

The Cowboys bring in a few tryout players each year like this to round out the camp.

For Zach, stepping into the star grandpa's old stomping grounds from 1994 to 1997, including

that Super Bowl 30 win felt.

Straight up surreal, especially after knocking out his second practice and hitting the locker

room.

Barry even hit up some old scout contacts to give Zach a look, something he didn't

have to do, and Zach's calling it a huge honor that lines up with.

One of his lifelong dreams.

It's all tryout odds right now.

Long shots even if a few workout guys have stuck before, but that fire just pushes them

harder as camp reps.
