Texas A&M star offensive tackle Trey Zuhn III is without a doubt going into the NFL. It's just a matter of when he will be picked, but his draft stock could be rising as we speak.

PFF College just awarded Zuhn III with the best pass-block grade in PFF College history. We all knew the former four-star recruit from Fort Collins, Colorado, was going to do big things, but now, Zuhn III is at the top of history.

Since 2024, we saw that Zuhn III definitely had an NFL future in him, but is he still being overlooked?

Trey Zuhn III's stock should rise following PFF College's historic grade

According to Lance Zierlein of NFL.com, he expects Zuhn III to move to a guard or center position because of his "lack of functional length."

"A four-year starting left tackle with deep family ties to Texas A&M, Zuhn will likely slide inside to center or guard as a pro due to a lack of functional length. He has first-step quickness to reach lateral landmarks but lacks ideal athleticism to play in space and is more consistently effective working double-teams and combo blocks."

Some project Zuhn III as a mid-to-late Day 3 pick, possibly in the seventh round. NFL Draft Buzz ranks Zuhn III as the 245th best player, but how can the best pass-blocker in PFF College history be this low? The only hope is that the last 245th overall pick was Jacory Croskey-Merritt, the running back for the Washington Commanders.

Croskey-Merritt, or Bill as some call him, had a decent rookie season, rushing for 805 yards and eight touchdowns. He, as well as others throughout history, defied the odds as to what a seventh-round pick should look like.

Zuhn III has a great first step and always finds someone to block. Without him, Marcel Reed wouldn't have had the time and protection on the field. This historic grade has to impress some draft scouts, and it won't go unnoticed. But if it does, we all know Zuhn III is just going to prove everybody wrong.
