Overview​

A four-year starting left tackle with deep family ties to Texas A&M, Zuhn will likely slide inside to center or guard as a pro due to a lack of functional length. He has first-step quickness to reach lateral landmarks but lacks ideal athleticism to play in space and is more consistently effective working double-teams and combo blocks. His anchor and savvy help mitigate his lack of length, but he could struggle to mirror and recover quickly enough when beaten by athletic rushers or twists. Zuhn projects as “solid” more than “standout” but he could have a long career as a starter at center or guard while offering emergency help as a tackle.

Strengths​

  • Four-year starter and team captain in 2025.
  • Mirrors rusher while maintaining proper base width.
  • Has enough anchor for a move inside.
  • Hits hand resets with independent hands when needed.
  • Quick first step laterally creates advantages on reach blocks.
  • Keeps looking for someone to block until the whistle blows.
  • Fires stiff under-hooks and unlocks hips into his base blocks.
  • Displayed good radar and fitted contact as a lead-pulling center in limited snaps.

Weaknesses​

  • Average range in pass slides to patrol both A-gaps.
  • Lacks recovery agility when rushers beat him on his edge.
  • Below-average quickness and athleticism in space.
  • Two-gappers create early separation with length.
  • Leans into run blocks, creating imbalance and tougher adjustments.
  • Inconsistent technique and timing on his work-up blocks.
 
Pushes a lot of other players. Another c option if lindy/jpj are hurt. Zone fit. About his range. Not a sexy pick. Spy obviously views our needs and values differently.

The Player ​

Zuhn is a first-team All-SEC left tackle, but he’s built more like an interior offensive lineman and in the NFL is expected to move to center, where he started two games last year. The mechanics of playing center are obviously different from the mechanics of playing tackle or even guard, and there are encouraging signs Zuhn can make the transition to playing center full time. The accuracy and velocity of his shotgun snaps improved when he played center last season. He started a total of 50 games in the SEC. His tape exhibits an ability to identify the mike linebacker, pick up blitzes, and pick up line stunts, so there’s little reason to believe he won’t be able to identify fronts and help set protections in the NFL. He reportedly had an impressive 40 time and broad jump at Texas A&M’s pro day.

Zuhn is a positional run blocker who fits best in a zone-heavy scheme. His lateral mobility allows him to reach frontside defensive tackles quickly and he can work up to the second level. He shows good range when he pulls and releases on screens. He’s not a powerful drive blocker and his hand placement is inconsistent, so big nose tackles with length can give him problems. He leans and falls off blocks and he needs to improve his angles working up to the second level. He gets set quickly, moves his feet, and battles to stay in front of defenders. He had an outstanding bench press at the combine and he flashes a powerful punch. He resets his hands and digs in against power rushers. His ability to compete at left tackle against SEC edge rushers is a testament to his athletic ability.

He needs to improve the timing and accuracy of his punch. He gets top-heavy and can lose blocks when he doesn’t get his hands inside. He shared the Jacobs Blocking Trophy given to the SEC’s best offensive lineman with Alabama’s Kadyn Proctor in 2025.

The Draft​

Zuhn is a mid-round prospect who could be a top-five center in this class. He is one of four Texas A&M offensive linemen invited to the combine this year. Four offensive linemen from the same school getting drafted in the same year is uncommon, but it happened just last year (LSU).

The Projection​

Zuhn is a strong candidate to provide depth all along the offensive line early in his career and could develop into a starting center in time. There isn’t an ideal comp for him, but 2019 third-round pick Michael Deiter might be worth mentioning. Deiter finished his college career with more starts on the inside, but he was an all-conference left tackle his junior year. He’s started 35 of the 92 games he’s played in the NFL.

Trey Zuhn III Draft Profile & Scouting Report

Zierlein has a 6.20 grade on him as an IOL and that ranked tied for 84th in value. So, not a reach. Just not what I expected.
 

Overview​

  • Hometown: Fort Collins, CO
  • Birthday: October 12, 2002
  • Age: 23.5
  • Jersey: No. 60
  • High School: Fossil Ridge
  • Year: Fifth-year senior
A four-year starter at Texas A&M, Zuhn worked primarily at left tackle in former offensive coordinator Collin Klein’s balanced scheme. The Aggies started to mix up their line rotations in 2025, including playing Zuhn inside at center (right-handed snapper) for 126 snaps. Zuhn earned All-SEC honors each of the past two seasons and shared the 2025 SEC Jacobs Blocking Trophy (top blocker in the SEC) with Alabama’s Kadyn Proctor.

Zuhn is a college tackle who has the body and skill set that necessitate a move to the interior at the next level. (NFL scout: “Staff claims he’s the most pro-ready lineman they’ve ever had.”) He is urgent in his setup, quickly finds his landmark and flashes savvy hands. However, his average play strength and lack of length don’t go unnoticed versus power rushers or in the run game. Coachable and razor sharp, he should have little trouble handling the complexities of center in the NFL.

Dane’s takeaway​

Zuhn is an alert, athletic blocker who understands his strengths and reverts to what he does best to win reps. He offers interior flex and will have starter-caliber upside in the right situation.

Sounds like a "year in the weight room" guy.

Well, F’ me. I thought he was lacking in traits. Nice. Very nice. Rogers has immediate competition. Hopefully both beat out Burford. We have plenty of depth if JPJ gets injured again.
