veteran Fresno State LB bringing local roots and reliable depth
Zane Rix is a 6-foot, 219-pound senior linebacker for Fresno State who gives the Bulldogs seasoned depth, special-teams value, and a hometown edge. In the 2025 season, he appeared in six games and recorded tackles in the regular-season finale at San Jose State and again in the bowl game, showing he can be trusted when the lights are brightest. His biggest differentiators are his local story, football lineage, and persistence: he’s a Buchanan and Fresno City product whose father played at Fresno State, and he’s the kind of steady, program-fit defender who adds toughness and continuity.
