Zelmar Vedder brings length, production, and pro-day juice to Houston’s secondary
In the 2025 season, Houston DB Zelmar Vedder played all 13 games, posted 19 tackles, forced one fumble, and finished third on the team with seven pass breakups—production that fits a long, disruptive 6-3 defender who can contest throws at the catch point.[2][8] His standout differentiators are verified speed-and-explosiveness numbers from Houston’s Pro Day: a 4.51 forty, 39.5-inch vertical, and a league-best 10-foot-10 broad jump, which helped land him on the Academic All-Big 12 team and eventually into an NFL opportunity.[8][11]
