This is one of the most intriguing prospects in the Class of 2027. Union Grove TE Anthony Zimmerman Anthony Zimmerman 6'6" | 285 lbs | TE/DL Union Grove | 2027 State WI had a great frame as a sophomore, but as a junior came back even bigger at 6’6″ 285 lbs. That is perfect for the Union Grove offense where they want to run the ball early and often in games. Anthony is able to provide them with a major advantage in their blocking scheme. Whether it be winning with his power vs DEs/edges or using his athleticism to hook the end and break contain or get up to an LB. The big man is only getting stronger too, just recently hitting 315 lbs on the bench for the first time. The ’27 TE is just scratching the surface and could provide some great position versatility at the next level.

Anthony holds one offer so far from Eastern Michigan. This summer should lead to him adding plenty of others to that list. Check out the highlights.

Anthony might be the most versatile of the position, and because of it the most likely to even change position at the next level. The Union Grove monster plays TE and DE for the Broncos at a very high level. On offense they don’t go to the TE often, so instead the massive TE is utilized as an extra OL. The 6’6″ 285 lbs beast has that frame loaded to the max with violent power that bulldozes DL off the line of scrimmage. Because of his size and production in the run game I could very easily see Anthony being moved to OL and working his way into being a legitimate FBS OL. Whether it is TE, OL, or DL the 2027 athlete has the talent to play D1 football.

One of the most intriguing athletes in the state is Union Grove’s Anthony Zimmerman Anthony Zimmerman 6'6" | 285 lbs | TE/DL Union Grove | 2027 State WI . The 2027 TE/DE is now up to 6’6″ 285 lbs. The big man is right at home in the trenches too. He has been a constant contributor over the past two seasons with his run blocking prowess. The junior gives UG an extra OL the way he can fire off the ball, clamp his hands on, and run DL off the ball and out of gaps. Anthony’s sheer size, power, and dominance as a blocker make me believe his best ball, and highest opportunity at the next level, could come playing as an OL. Secondarily would be his play at DE where that same size, power, and wingspan are able to overwhelm OTs and easily shed them aside to make tackles. This is an exciting prospect who is just scratching the surface on what he could be. He is a big ball of clay ready for a college coach to morph into a constant contributor.

Anthony is an extremely intriguing TE recruit. He hasn’t been heavily utilized in the pass game, 7 receptions in 2024, but the massive 6’6″ 265 lbs incoming junior looks the part of a future Power 4 recruit. For Union Grove, Anthony essentially plays as an extra OL, devastating defenders on the edge with his power. Even at 265 lbs, Anthony has great footwork and quickness to be able to adjust and stay square while engaged with his man. Plus he does a great job of being able to drop his pad level and give himself even more of an advantage by winning the leverage battle. I won’t be surprised if we see a future change to OL. With his size, power and athleticism Anthony could turn into a Power 4 OL recruit. He is definitely an exciting athlete to scout and project.
