Zban was a four-year letterman for the Thundering Herd baseball team and a three-year letterman in football. He recovered a fumble for an MU touchdown in the program's first MAC win in football, 9-6 over Ohio University, in 1953. Zban played offensive and defensive tackle at 6-foot-3, 225-pounds and started two seasons and was considered one of the toughest players on those early 1950s Marshall College teams.

As a baseball player, Zban won All-MAC honors in 1954, hitting .347 with six home runs and led the team in runs batted in, as he did in 1952. Marshall was 29-29 during his four seasons, but 24-19 his last three years. Zban played for both Howard Hood and Joe Binns in baseball and Pete Pedersen and Herb Royer in football. A former sportswriter, he was inducted into the Summit County (Ohio) Sports Hall of Fame in 2000.
