Penn State teammate Jordan Dudas filmed Zettel's nature-defeating feat and posted the video to Instagram.
Anthony Zettel, defensive tackle for Pennsylvania State University, put his football skills to a real-world test when he decided to tackle a tree.
Teammate Jordan Dudas posted an Instagram video showing Zettel showing off his skills in the woods by tackling a tree to the ground.
Zettel, who boasts the ability to throw a football 75 yards and can drive a golf ball more than 300 yards, can now add football fauna take-downs to his resume
What a beast, he pushed down a dead trunk with its roots already completely rotted away
The YouTube of it:

This is almost as impressive as having a dead imaginary girlfriend.
Ummm, a tree is flora, not fauna. Fauna is, you know, animals...
I know, picky, picky, football players don't know the difference between trees and animals anyway...
We used to go out into the bog and push trees over. I was about ten at the time. We thought we were pretty tough!
“Zettel, who boasts the ability to throw a football 75 yards and can drive a golf ball more than 300 yards,”
Did both in college, and that 300 yards with a rusty driver while drunk. All you have to do is go Happy Gilmore.
After much introspection and in depth consultation with the muses of late night posting I have come to the conclusion that a disclaimer must preceed this next video clip.
I found this quite by accident while looking for other examples of men tackling trees.
My posting this video in no way constitutes an endorsement of what this tree has been made to endure, nor am I in any way affiliated with the subject of this video. I also do not endorse his attire for this training exercise. (My own Mawashi is far more stylish, colorful and modest.)
And (I cannot stress this enough!) this video will almost certainly be unsettling for younger, more sensitive viewers and anyone with a modicum of taste.
That said - here’s how a ~Real Man~ tackles a tree.

I’m just thankful the sheep were too fast for him!
Is that Krispy Kremes portly brother in a Speedo?
Notice none of sheep want anything to do with him.
They seem awfully skittish when Big Boy comes anywhere near.
Fat Boy!
It’s a stupid video, but Zettel is a first team All Big Ten Defensive Tackle. He was certainly a “beast” against tOSU last year in a double overtime loss.
