Zach Thompson brings size and upside to Marist’s defensive line
Zach Thompson is a 2026 Marist defensive lineman listed at 6-foot-4, 280 pounds, giving the Red Foxes a big, sturdy presence up front and a classic interior build that can eat blocks and collapse space[2][6]. He arrived at Marist after playing the 2024 season at Wagner, which suggests a player with college-ready experience rather than a raw freshman flyer[2]. The fit is about leverage, physicality, and depth: if a team wants a DL who can handle contact, anchor against the run, and develop into a dependable rotational piece, Thompson checks the right boxes[2][4].
