Harvard Freshman Proves to Be a Double Threat

By Alexa N. Gellman, Crimson Staff Writer

Remember Zach Boden?

In the fall, the freshman from Atlanta emerged as a standout player on the Harvard football team. In his rookie season, Boden gained significant playing time as a running back. He was twice named Ivy League Rookie of the Week and averaged 6.1 yards per carry on the season with six touchdowns.

Boden’s story continued to unfold earlier this spring when he decided to join the baseball team while still fully participating in football offseason workouts.

When Boden made his decision to join the team, he was unsure of what his role would be.

“I have no idea really how much I’m going to play,” Boden said, “Or if I’m going to play at all this season. I’m just going out there, meeting some new guys and hoping to see the field a little bit this year.”

Now, playing in the outfield for the Crimson, Boden is second on the team in hitting with a batting average of .343. He has recorded four runs and two RBIs so far this season.

Boden has proven to be a valuable player both on the football and baseball field. With Ivy play beginning this Saturday, Boden will be a key player to watch for the rest of the season.
