Hunter Zambrano brings proven pass protection upside — if he stays healthy
Zambrano is a 6-foot-5, 305-pound Texas Tech offensive lineman whose best trait is **pass protection**; at Illinois State, he earned All-MVFC honors in 2023 and was graded among the FCS’s top tackles, with just one sack allowed on 397 pass-blocking snaps and only seven sacks over 874 career pass-protection opportunities. Texas Tech views him as a likely starter at left guard, but his recent value is tied to a major caveat: back-to-back injury-shortened seasons, including only three games played for Tech in 2025. If healthy, he profiles as a high-floor, technically sound fit for a team needing reliable edge-to-edge protection.
