Zion Haney brings college-ready size and all-state pedigree to Ball State’s interior line
Haney arrives at Ball State as a 6-foot-4, 280-pound freshman offensive lineman from Bishop Chatard High School, where he earned All-State honors from the IFCA and All-Conference recognition in 2024. His appeal is the classic IOL profile: size, power, and the kind of proven high-school résumé that suggests he can develop into a dependable interior blocker. For a team, that means a prospect with a sturdy frame and validated production against strong prep competition, though like most true freshmen linemen, his immediate value will depend on how quickly he adjusts to college speed and technique.
