Murray State edge rusher with a power-first profile
Zach Dean profiles as a physical defensive end for Murray State, but there isn’t enough reliable public 2026 stat or scouting data available here to verify current production or rankings. If he’s on your radar, the appeal is the classic DE checklist: edge-setting strength, effort, and disruptive toughness rather than flashy numbers. That kind of player can fit a defense that values discipline and run defense, especially if he brings high motor and can hold the point of attack. The big question is whether his pass-rush upside matches the frame-and-grind promise.
