Biography

Career Stats

At Cornell
Zimmerman joined the team as a walk-on linebacker in 2008 and was immediately turned into a long snapper. That role has suited him, as Zimmerman has become one of the top snappers in the Ivy League. He has been perfect on all placements over the last two seasons, making six special teams tackles, including five in 2010. As a junior in 2009, Zimmerman made one tackle, recovered a fumble against Dartmouth and played in all 10 contests. He saw action on the junior varsity team a year ago. Zimmerman is enrolled in the College of Engineering.

At Brookfield
Zimmerman was a three-year letter winner at linebacker and on the offensive line at Brookfield Academy. He helped his team to a 7-4 record as a senior.

Personal
Robert Ryan Zimmerman is the son of Jerry and Karla Zimmerman.
