Colorado’s 6’6”, 260-lb In-State TE with Elite Size and Coach Prime Momentum
Zayne DeSouza, a 6’6”, 260-pound three-star tight end from Loveland, Colorado, brings rare size and in-state pride to the Buffaloes as a key 2025 class commitment for Coach Prime. His differentiator is his physical profile—among the largest TEs in college football—paired with intense local loyalty and a transformative role projected to reshape Colorado’s passing game. Though he has only played one season at CU with modest stat output (25 receptions, 143.8 yards, 211.8 total yards), his ceiling is high due to his blocking-receiving dual threat potential and the program’s offensive evolution. No known injury history; his intensity and fit for a big-play, physical scheme make him a compelling add for teams needing a red-zone anchor and versatile blocker.
