Jacob Zarate brings hometown size, tackle experience, and a proven prep pedigree to Utah Tech
In the 2024 season, Jacob Zarate started five of the nine games he played and made all five starts at left tackle for Utah Tech, a strong sign he can handle live reps on the edge. At 6-foot-6 and 305 pounds, he pairs rare length with a local-back-home story that often translates into extra buy-in and toughness; he also arrived with serious high-school credentials, including Region 9 Offensive Lineman of the Year, back-to-back Utah 4A state titles, and multiple all-region/all-state honors. For a team seeking a developmental tackle with size, experience, and room to keep climbing, he’s a very sensible fit.
