"Five-year SEC left tackle with light feet and functional length; interior-flex projection gives him a Round 3 landing as a swing OL with LG or backup-tackle upside."Pre-draft read
This left tackle wins with a light, patient kick-slide, mirroring speed rushers to the top of the arc without oversetting. His secondary trait is exceptional hand timing, utilizing independent strikes, landing the inside hand first on power rushes, and snatching the near shoulder with the outside hand on speed-to-power moves. He plays with a wide base and quiet feet, maintaining awareness of stunts and working effectively with the guard on twists. In the run game, he operates as a zone technician, executing precise reach blocks on wide zone plays and climbing cleanly to the second level.
He does not consistently uproot 3-techniques on gap concepts. His anchor is functional against long-arm bull rushers but not elite. His short-area quickness and compact strike project cleanly to cross-train reps at guard.
This prospect fits best in a wide zone blocking scheme that emphasizes athleticism and precise hand placement from its offensive linemen.
Year 1 he's a potential spot-starter or high-end backup at LT, with a ceiling as a multi-year starter at guard.
He would struggle in a gap/duo power run-heavy scheme where he's asked to consistently displace nose tackles or 3-techs and anchor against elite bull rushers.
Zuhn is a scheme-versatile lineman with a secure floor as a backup or interior starter, though his ceiling may be limited by an average anchor and inconsistent run-game finish.

This five-year SEC offensive lineman projects as a scheme-flexible asset who offers positional versatility, capable of contributing at left tackle and guard. A team acquires a highly experienced blocker with refined technique, particularly in pass protection against speed rushers, making him a reliable option for various offensive schemes. His extensive play in a major conference indicates a high floor, mitigating some concerns about his athletic ceiling.
He served as Texas A&M's primary left tackle for most of his collegiate career, logging 54 games in the SEC. After an early-career freshman injury, he returned to anchor the blind side for four seasons. His reps at left tackle and cross-training at guard during pre-draft workouts confirm his potential for an interior-flexible role, validating consistent usage against top competition.
The consensus board placed him at the top of Day 3, acknowledging his SEC-tested experience but also noting an average anchor against elite power rushers and inconsistent run-game finish. This trade-off between extensive experience and specific physical limitations led to his selection early on Day 3 by the Las Vegas Raiders.

A dash means the figure is not published by a source we trust — never a zero we invented.
Swing OL who bounces between LT and LG based on need, with functional but not elite anchor.
Zone-scheme fit at guard with left-tackle training and enough movement skill to start inside.
Backup swing tackle whose anchor limits him to spot-start emergency reps.
Everything above is the pre-draft evaluation. This section is what actually happened — updated year over year.
Pre-draft context — A four-star recruit who arrived at Texas A&M in Jimbo Fisher's 2021 top-ranked signing class and won the starting left-tackle job as a true freshman before an early-season lower-body injury cut the year to four games. Returned in 2022 and locked down the blind side across four consecutive seasons — 11 games in 2022, 13 apiece in 2023, 2024 and 2025 — logging 54 career games in the SEC while playing under three different offensive-line coaches. Senior Bowl invite and interior-flex reps in Mobile hardened the projection from tackle-only to swing OL, which is what pushed the grade to the top of Day 3.
NFL fit — Las Vegas Raiders — Slots into a three-way competition at left guard as a rookie, with the versatility to kick out to swing-tackle emergency reps if injuries hit. The scheme fit is clean in a zone-heavy blocking scheme that asks for reach, climb and back-side cut-offs more than gap-scheme displacement. Realistic Year 1 role is depth OL with a real path to the starting LG job by midseason if the competition doesn't separate.
Retrospective — Too early to grade the pro career. The evaluation call at pick 91 was that a five-year SEC left tackle with light feet, clean hand timing and interior positional flex was worth the athletic-ceiling flag and the average anchor. Whether that call ages well depends on whether the interior kick sticks — the LT-only version of him profiles as a backup swing piece, but the LG version has a real starter path.
