Ball State freshman Zion Haney brings local pedigree and big-frame upside to the Cardinals’ offensive line
Zion Haney is a 2026 Ball State freshman offensive lineman from Indianapolis who arrives at 6-foot-3 to 6-foot-4 and about 280-301 pounds, giving the Cardinals a sturdy interior build with room to grow. His biggest differentiator is pedigree: he helped Bishop Chatard go 33-6 over three seasons, including a perfect 15-0 state-title run in his sophomore year, which suggests winning habits and toughness. He’s a development pickup with promising size rather than a proven college stat line, so the fit is best for a program looking to mold a physical, high-upside trench player.
