CONGRATULATING SOUTH DAKOTA'S GREY ZABEL AND THE SEATTLE SEAHAWKS ON SUPER BOWL LX WIN Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 28 (Tuesday, February 10, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 28 (Tuesday, February 10, 2026)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E124] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] CONGRATULATING SOUTH DAKOTA'S GREY ZABEL AND THE SEATTLE SEAHAWKS ON SUPER BOWL LX WIN ______ HON. DUSTY JOHNSON of south dakota in the house of representatives Tuesday, February 10, 2026 Mr. JOHNSON of South Dakota. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate South Dakota's own Grey Zabel and the Seattle Seahawks on their Super Bowl LX victory on February 8, 2026. Grey Zabel was born and raised in Pierre, South Dakota. After graduating from T.F. Riggs High School and helping the Governors win three State Championships, he was recruited to play football at North Dakota State University. At North Dakota State, Zabel helped lead the Bison to two NCAA Division I FCS National Championships in 2021 and 2024. In 2024, he earned First Team FCS All-American honors at left tackle, capping off an outstanding collegiate career. After an impressive collegiate performance at North Dakota State, the Seattle Seahawks selected Zabel in the first round, 18th overall, in the 2025 NFL draft. As a rookie offensive lineman, he started at guard and tackle, playing in all 17 regular-season games and three postseason games during Seattle's Super Bowl LX championship run. He proved highly effective, allowing only two sacks over 580 pass-blocking snaps during the season and recording seven games without a single pressure allowed. I am proud to recognize Grey Zabel's outstanding perseverance and his impact as a role model for athletes and individuals across the Nation. He is an inspiring reminder of the strength found in determination and hard work. I congratulate Grey Zabel and the Seattle Seahawks on their remarkable victory. ____________________
