The Takeaway

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.
