Welcome to Athletes Unscripted, a story-telling platform built to give student-athletes a voice. Founded by student-athletes, Athletes Unscripted aims to share first-person, authentic stories and moments that are oftentimes unseen. Through written features, video stories and interviews, we strive to bring fans closer to the people behind the jerseys and redefine how their stories are told.

Meet The Founders

Chris Katz spent four years playing Division I baseball at Wake Forest University and is now completing his MBA while competing at Mercer University. Having experienced the highs, lows, and pressures of college athletics, Chris understands how much of an athlete’s story goes untold.

He co-founded Athletes Unscripted to give college athletes a space to share their real experiences — the moments behind the success, the lessons from the journey, and the voices often left unheard.

Dylan Zucker: Co-Founder

A former Wake Forest baseball player, Dylan Zucker is now pursuing his master’s degree in finance at Johns Hopkins University. His time in college athletics taught him the value of leadership, balance, and the stories that shape who athletes become beyond the field.

Dylan co-founded Athletes Unscripted to build a platform that empowers athletes to share those stories authentically — not just the highlights, but the experiences that define them.
