Improbable Leap: Tribal College Baller Zachary Camel Jumps to Division I

February 16, 2016

Tell your friends!

Zachary Camel isn’t known for a 40-inch vertical, but he did make one of the largest leaps any Native American basketball player has ever made. After two seasons at Salish Kootenai College, the 20-year-old Flathead tribal member successfully walked on to the University of Montana team this fall.

Camel was a guard on the SKC teams that won back to back championships at the American Indian Higher Education Consortium basketball tournament.
