Tyler Zeller setting own path from his basketball brothers

Posted Oct 31, 2012
Tyler Zeller is the one (of the Zeller brothers) who always has veered to a slightly different path. He's the only one who left the state to attend college, making his parents drive 10 hours to see him at North Carolina -- which they did often. He's the only one who would rather listen than talk, the one who wishes he could have studied engineering and never passes up an opportunity to build something with his own hands.
