Draft Scouting Report

Pro Comparison: Preston Smith
Summary

Zion Young is a powerful, high-motor defensive end who excels at moving the pocket through sheer strength. He’s not the most athletic, nor is he the bendiest around the edge, but he uses heavy hands to bully offensive tackles and collapse the pocket. He’s a disciplined run defender who sets a firm edge and plays with a relentless motor. His game is built on physicality rather than finesse or speed.

About
  • 2025: First-team All-SEC (coaches)
  • 2025: Career-high 56 pressures (second among SEC players), per PFF
Strengths

  • Plays with extreme effort through the whistle on every snap.

  • Relies heavily on power moves with few technical counters.
  • Long strider who can struggle to tackle mobile quarterbacks in space.
