Army DL Sam Zagame: a hard-nosed, service-first body-builder still waiting for a breakout
Sam Zagame is a 6-foot-2, 253-pound junior defensive lineman for Army in the 2026 season who brings size, military-rooted discipline, and a blue-collar profile that fits the Black Knights’ identity. He has not yet logged game statistics in college—Army lists him as having no appearances in 2024 and 2025—so the appeal is projection, not production[1]. What stands out is his foundation at USMAPS, his First-Team All-State high school résumé, and the kind of toughness and development arc Army values in the trenches[1].
