Zachary McDowell is a steady, battle-tested anchor for Dayton’s offensive front
In the 2025 season, McDowell was a reliable interior piece for Dayton, appearing in eight games and starting six after starting seven of nine as a freshman in 2023; at 6-foot-4 and 307 pounds, he brings the kind of size and continuity coaches love in an offensive lineman. The big differentiator here is dependability: he has already proven he can hold a role in the lineup, and that early-career starting experience is a strong sign for a team looking for a mature, physical, low-drama blocker with room to keep developing.
