College Career Summary

Trey Zuhn III leaves College Station as the quintessential "fixture" of the Aggie offensive line. A former four-star recruit from Colorado, Zuhn anchored the left tackle spot for nearly his entire career, amassing 45+ career starts. After redshirting in 2021, he became a full-time starter in 2022 and showed steady year-over-year improvement in his technical refinement.

His 2025 season was his most decorated yet, as he was named to the All-SEC First Team and won the SEC Jacobs Blocking Trophy, awarded to the conference's best blocker. He was the primary protector for Texas A&M's quarterbacks and a lead blocker for a rushing attack that consistently ranked in the top tier of the SEC. While he is often overshadowed by flashier athletic outliers, Zuhn’s "iron man" durability and technical consistency make him one of the safest tackle prospects in the class.

Attributes (.20) — Grade: 91/100

• Run Block: Plus; very effective in zone schemes using his frame to wall off lanes.

Scouting Report

• Strengths: Prototypical NFL frame; elite technical refinement with 45+ starts of experience; highly intelligent blocker who rarely misses an assignment; disciplined (only 2 penalties in 2025); SEC battle-tested against the nation's best.

• Weaknesses: Lacks elite "lateral twitch" to recover if beaten early; pad level can rise, leading to leverage loss against squatty power rushers; higher athletic ceiling may be capped compared to "freak" prospects.

• Scheme Fit: Ideal for a Zone-Slide or Pro-Style Balanced offense (e.g., Rams, Cowboys, Vikings).

• NFL Comparison: Jake Matthews / Garett Bolles.

Scout's Final Word

"Trey Zuhn III is the definition of a 'high-floor' prospect. He isn't the most explosive athlete in this class, but he is arguably the most prepared. His tape is a masterclass in hand usage and situational awareness. NFL teams will value his 45+ games of SEC experience and his 'clean' medical and disciplinary record. He projects as a Day 1 starter at Left Tackle who will provide stability for a decade. Draft Projection: 3rd - 4th Round (High Positional Value)."
