Zeutenhorst is a 6’6″, 220-pound tight end and defensive end who had a standout, three-year career playing for Sioux Center High School. Zeutenhorst totaled 56 catches for 661 yards and 14 touchdowns in earning second team all-state honors as a senior. He was also named to the Des Moines Register All-State team as a tight end/wide receiver and earned all-Northwest Iowa Review honors.
