Zach Felten Zach Felten 6'2" | 205 lbs | OL/DL Newton | 2026 IA flashed as a multi-purpose piece for the Cardinals last season, playing on the O-line, D-line, and as the team’s primary Punter last season. Felten punted 23 times, averaging 33.3 yards per punt, while adding 7 tackles (4 solo) on defense. Despite being one of the smaller blockers on the O-line, Felten has stood his ground, paving the way for Newton’s effective run-game, being able to keep edge-rushers contained and causing them to lose their balance. As a Punter, Felten flashes solid range and pinpoint landing on his punts, being able to land the ball deep in opponent’s territory. Felten should continue to see a big role on the trenches and on special teams for Newton in 2025.

Being overlooked can happen at Newton, a program that’s been developing a good amount of talent for the next level. Felten falls into that bucket and deserves more attention, which he can earn with another productive campaign in 2025. His junior highlight video reveals a prospect packed with potential and a projectable frame foreshadowing the likelihood of further development from a physical standpoint. Operating at left tackle for the Cardinals, Felton can pave the way in the running game or set up successfully in pass protection. With good footwork, active hands and a workable bend, Felton often gains an early advantage on the opponent that he rarely relinquishes. Keep an eye on this kid.
