Zach Gilbert Zach Gilbert 6'3" | 215 lbs | LB/EDGE Boyd Buchanan | 2026 State TN missed his junior season to injury, but his earlier HS production and his traits still give plenty of reason to get excited about him. He comes in around 6’3 215 and plays a good mix on and off the ball. The biggest thing I notice on tape is his length. He has grass scrapers for arms and uses that length to expand his tackling radius and engulf ball carriers. Gilbert is a long strider and still growing into his frame, but he flashes adequate closing speed to the ball, especially on a straight line. He plays hard at the point of attack as well. Gilbert is a new name to me and someone I will track going forward.
