compact, sturdy Colorado State OL with a developmental frame
In the 2026 season, Colorado State lists Zak West as a 6-1, 270-pound sophomore offensive lineman, and that smaller-but-squaty build suggests leverage, quickness, and fit-versatility more than pure mass. His profile is more about being a grinder than a headline grabber: reliable interior toughness, lower-body strength, and the kind of blue-collar temperament that usually wins coaches over in the trenches.[1]
