College career
In throughout his collegiate career, Skinner was a star. In two seasons at the University of Tennessee Knoxville, he started 21 games.
In his first season, as a true freshman, Skinner was redshirted as a 250 pound outside linebacker. But in his third game, after their starter and second stringer at left outside linebacker went down, Skinner stepped up, delivering two sacks in the fourth quarter to help lead a comeback win against rival school Florida.
He finished that freshman season with not such stellar production as that first outing, ending up with 11.5 sacks, 16 tackles for a loss, and forty seven tackles. The Volunteers weren't able to contend in a bowl game with their 5-7 record, but he was at least one bright spot, and a sign of things to come.
That offseason, Zach went to work, putting on 30 pounds of muscle and keeping his speed, refining his game in order to prepare. he wanted to win. And as a result, in his second season, Skinner was, in the preseason, hailed as the best player on the team, and he delivered on those expectations, tallying four sacks, three forced fumbles, twenty tackles, and two defensive touchdowns in their first four contests, leading the team to an undefeated record and a number 7 spot on the college football rankings.
Unfortunately, that early-season tear wasn't sustainable. In their next six contests, despite Skinner racking in an additional three sacks and nineteen tackles, the team around him was struggling without his otherworldly production, the squad dropping four of those and having a very narrow margin of +9 total in the two that they won. Due to those games, the Volunteers quickly fell out of contention for a playoff spot with their unimpressive record of 6-4.
Despite this, Zach Skinner was garnering national attention after generating buzz as a freshman. His production was unbelievable, and he helped rally the Vols to finish the year with three straight wins, including a win over Oregon in their bowl game. Skinner posted his best collegiate game in that bowl, dominating with his second 3 sack performance, five tackles for a loss, twelve tackles, and a forced fumble that he recovered for his third touchdown on the year.
Overall, Skinner finished that season with 12.5 sacks, 17 tackles for a loss, and fifty seven tackles. After that unbelievable campaign, Skinner decided to leave the college ranks to play in the DSFL.

If you need to link to the season page for the league in general, use Expression error: Unrecognised punctuation character "#". (S##SEASON_NUMBER##). Other links can be created as and when you want them. It's not a big deal.
But yeah, summarise each season in this bit. Just a quick overview. Nothing too in-depth. If something major happened, like the multi scandal, or the incorrect TPE stuff, it's probably worth having a separate article for those kinds of things.
