Zyon Gilbert brings rare durability, burst, and ball skills to FAU’s secondary
In his FAU career, Zyon Gilbert built a reputation as a high-motor, versatile defensive back who played 60 games for the Owls and finished with 248 tackles, 31 passes defended, five interceptions, and a blocked kick. He also flashed real athletic pop at Pro Day with a 4.40 40-yard dash and a 40-inch vertical, traits that show up in his aggressive play style and ability to close on the ball. The big selling point: he’s a proven, experienced corner with a safety background, dependable toughness, and the kind of competitive edge coaches usually love.
