Doing some digging into Grant’s Tyler Zdon Tyler Zdon 5'9" | 195 lbs | RB/ATH Grant | 2026 State IL , I found that he is committed to North Dakota, which was not surprising considering his performance on Saturday. The senior RB may not be the biggest back out there, but he does have a strong, compact frame that allows him to run with a sturdy base low to the ground, making him very tough for defenders to tackle. Zdon impressed with his ability to sharply cut and shift to make defenders miss in tight spaces, displaying quick footwork and change of direction when running. Zdon did great in the testing portion with a 4.53 40-yard dash, 4.47 shuttle drill, 9’3″ broad jump, and a 7-flat L-drill, putting his explosiveness and athleticism on full display. Tyler also looked good during the 1v1s, showing he can create separation from defenders and reliable hands at the catch point. If Zdon delivers a great senior year, I could see some FBS schools trying to snag the Grant back from the Fighting Hawks.

Zdon is a 5’9″ 195 pound running back that racked up 1853 yards and 24 scores as a junior. His tape jumps out with his home run hitting ability.  One cut and go with excellent burst.  Big time speed and takes good angles beating defenders at the second and third levels. Really like his vision and how hard he runs.  Kid has juice!
