If this doesn't tell you the kind of person Zack Stewart is, I don't know what does. Zack was in a bad slump, and Dave Van Horn jokingly told Nate Thompson he needed to change his look, to "cut his hair or something" to get him out of that slump. Dave Van Horn got a call that night from Zack. He asked DVH one thing: "How short do you want it?" 🥲 #WPS #razorbacks
