Breaking news:As Tennessee point guard Zakai Zeigler continues to cement his legacy in Knoxville, inching ever closer to the Volunteers’ all-time assist record.
With 15 assists in his latest performance, Zeigler now sits at 688 career assists, just 27 away from passing the Tennessee record of 715.
A fan favorite for his grit, defensive tenacity, and elite playmaking, Zeigler has been the engine of the Vols’ offense throughout his career. His vision, quickness, and ability to create for teammates have made him one of the best point guards in program history. The record, currently held by former Tennessee great Johnny Darden (who set the mark in the 1970s), is now well within reach.
Zeigler’s ability to distribute the ball has been a key factor in the Vols’ success this season. Whether threading the needle in transition, orchestrating the pick-and-roll, or finding open shooters, he has consistently put his teammates in position to score. His court awareness and passing ability have elevated Tennessee’s offense, making the Vols a serious contender in both the SEC and nationally.
With just 27 assists to go, it’s only a matter of time before Zeigler cements his name at the top of Tennessee’s record books. Barring injury, he could break the record within the next couple of games. When that moment comes, it will be a testament to his hard work, resilience, and impact on the program.
As Zeigler closes in on history, Tennessee fans will be watching closely, ready to celebrate another milestone for one of the most beloved players to wear the orange and
white.
