Prep: Like his twin brother Taylor, Tyson Zemlicka comes to the Wolves following a stand-out career at Waverly/South Shore High School, helping lead the Coyotes to back-to-back conference championships, an undefeated 12-0 season, and a Class B 9-man state championship title last fall. Zemlicka is a 3-time First Team All-Conference selection and a two-time selection to the All-State and Argus Leader Elite 45 squads. He was an honorable mention to the Elite 45 as a junior, then joined Taylor as a captain for the 2011 squad. Tyson recorded 107 tackles, five sacks, two interceptions and four forced fumbles on the defensive side of the field. He also hauled in 44 catches for 789 yards and 16 touchdowns from his brother Taylor on the receiving corps. In his career, Tyson holds school records for most tackles (273), most forced fumbles (9), fumbles recovered (7), sacks, receptions (143), receiving yards (2,508) and receiving touchdowns (36). He is also one of just five players in South Dakota to have surpassed the 2,000-yard plateau for career receiving yards. Also a four-year letter winner in basketball and track, Zemlicka helped lead the Coyotes to the 2009 district basketball championship. Off the field, he has perfect attendance in class and has been on the honor roll throughout his high school career. He is also active in FCA and his local youth group.
