Zakaih Saez brings rangy, playmaking upside to Oregon State’s linebacker room
In the 2024 season, Zakaih Saez flashed as a disruptive outside linebacker for Oregon State, producing 24 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, one sack, one interception returned for a touchdown, and a fumble recovery in nine games. His value goes beyond the box score: at 6-foot-4 and 230 pounds, he pairs length with burst, pursuit, and coverage instincts, and Oregon State leaned on him enough to start five games. The fit is best for teams wanting a young, energetic linebacker who can create splash plays and still grow into a more complete every-down defender.
