Colgate’s Intense 6’3” Guard with High-Pressure Defense and NYC Grit
Zach Light, a 6’3” guard from New York City, brings relentless intensity and defensive pressure to the Colgate Raiders, averaging 0.8 points, 0.6 rebounds, and 0.2 assists per game in the 2025–26 season with a 48.5% field goal rate. While his scoring numbers are modest, his differentiator is his high-stakes defensive mindset—evidenced by 1 steal in limited action—and his NYC-born grit that fuels team morale. Light has no known injury history and plays with a playmaker’s urgency despite limited minutes (2.9 per game). He’s a perfect fit for teams needing a tough, low-maintenance guard who elevates intensity without demanding star status. Why care? He’s the quiet engine that makes Colgate’s defense click.
