Zadock Dinkelmann Quarterback

In case you live under a rock, or in a fairly good sized cave, I will attempt to explain the weirdness of Weird Al Yankovic. Weird Al became famous for taking a popular song and spoofing it into something that’s often really funny. He’s not for everybody, but he’s taken his real musical talents and his imagination and converted it into millions of dollars.

One of his better parody songs was taken from a very popular hip hop song by Coolio called Gangsta’s Paradise. Now, I don’t listen to hip hop being a classic rock kind of a guy, but I am hip to the times. Plus, I have kids. Weird Al’s version of Gangsta’s Paradise was Amish Paradise.

As a middle aged white man, I am not even going to try and pretend to know what the lyrics mean in Gangsta’s Paradise. But, I can grasp the general idea that it’s about his life as a gangster on the mean

streets.

Weird Al’s version is hilariously witty and about the life and struggles of an Amish man. A line of the song goes “Jebediah feeds the chickens and Jacob plows, fool”.

Jebediah and Jacob are great examples of good Amish names, along with another mentioned in the song, Ezekiel.

Zadoch Dinkelmann is not Amish. He’s a young Mormon lad, or he probably is Mormon since he was committed to BYU at one point.

I can’t see the name Zadoch Dinkelmann without the song Amish Paradise getting stuck in my head. Weird Al would be so proud.

No stranger to football, Dinkelmann comes from a famous football family. His uncle is Ty Detmer who threw for tons of yardage and won the Heisman Trophy at BYU. His other uncle is Koy Detmer who played at Colorado.

Like the Detmar brothers, Zadoch Dinkelmann played for Sonny Detmer who is the father of Ty and Koy, plus Zadoch’s grandfather. Ty Detmer played his high school football in San Antonio at Southwest High School. But, Koy played in deep south Texas in the city where I was born. Sonny Detmer is now the head coach at Somerset which is just south of downtown San Antonio, Texas.

LSU head coach Les Miles and staff started coming around Somerset back when Zadock was in middle school. Early recruiting can be slightly ridiculous, but still Dinkelmann committed to LSU when he was in the 8th grade.

When Les Miles was fired by LSU, Dinkelmann backed off his commitment. LSU just lost two quarterbacks to transfer this past week when an Ohio State transfer took their potential starting job from them, and I am betting they wish they had him now.

Other schools were interested in Dinkelmann, but he committed to Brigham Young when Uncle Ty was the quarterback coach and offensive coordinator. Detmer was fired before signing day and Dinkelmann, as he should have, back off of his commitment to the Cougars of BYU.

Supposedly, other schools had been interested such as Texas, with Charlie Strong, but Strong had

been fired and new coach Tom Herman gained commitments from 2 other quarterbacks already. So, they had moved on.

With little time remaining before signing day, Dinkelmann chose Navarro Junior College where he can play this season and be recruited again.

When you have the grades to go to a good school, you don’t have to stay two years at a junior college in order to play division one football the next season. Instead of picking some school he didn’t like, he has a chance to play next season and be recruited all over again.

Dinkelmann’s numbers at Somerset were modest as a senior, throwing for just over 2,200 yards and 21 touchdowns. Stats do not always sum up how good a player is, depending on what kind of talent is around him. He led Somerset to a 9-3 record and the second round of the Texas 4A playoffs.

Recruiting is mostly about potential and what colleges think he can do at the next level. Zadock Dinkleman is about 6-5, 215, so he has that prototypical size that colleges and the NFL covet so badly.

You have to admit, he has a catchy name. It’s such an odd name that I’ve already included him in my all recruit name team.

Even if Zadock Dinkelmann makes you think of fellas driving around the community behind a team of horses.
