Veteran, versatile TCU safety who brings downhill pop
La’Kendrick Van Zandt is a proven, multi-role safety for TCU whose game is built on versatility, physicality, and instincts rather than flash. In 2020, he earned honorable-mention All-Big 12 honors and was a defensive standout in big moments, including a game-saving tackle at Texas, which fits the profile of a reliable pressure player. His TCU bio and draft-era coverage highlighted a strong frame, speed, and experience playing both safety and linebacker, making him a useful fit for a defense that values hybrid pieces and aggressive run support.
