When Tar Heels Needed Zayden High, He Was Ready

Posted Feb 16, 2026
"Stick through the hard times," Zayden High said, when asked what he's learned over the past year. Obviously, you guys know I haven't been playing as much, but I kept my head down. When your number is called, your job and responsibility is to be ready. I can't tell you when it will, where or the manner in which, but your responsibility is to be ready." (TarHeel247)
