Texas Tech landed a commitment along the offensive line with the pledge of Illinois State offensive tackle Hunter Zambrano.
Zambrano stands at a verified height and weight of 6-foot-5 and 305 pounds and possessed draftable grades based on a strong 2023 season, per reports from NFL scouting circles.
Zambrano was one of the best FCS offensive linemen in 2023 but only saw action in two games in the 2024 season due to an injury. Before the injury, Zambrano was a preseason FCS All-American.
During his 2023 campaign that earned him All-MVFC Second-Team, Zambrano started 11 games for the Redbirds and was the team's best offensive lineman, according to PFF.
In that stretch, Zambrano held an 88.7 PFF pass blocking grade over 397 pass block snaps, and an overall PFF grade of 79.3, the 18th best grade in all of FCS.
In 2024, Zambrano's season opener came on the road against Iowa where he played every snap at left tackle, giving up only one pressure which led to a sack in 33 pass blocking snaps.
Zambrano is viewed as a starter for Texas Tech in the 2025 season with the capacity to play interior offensive line or at tackle for the Red Raiders.
