An inspirational figure, Salz, an orthodox Jew originally from Philadelphia, is a running back for the Texas A&M University Aggies. He wears a yarmulka under his helmet and is an orthodox Jew, even though it interferes with his sports aspirations. He sits out games or quarters that take place on Shabbos.
