One of the most exciting defensive juniors in the state, Rowe is a menacing figure off the edge with great technique and dominant power. Zane plays with a high motor and thrives at using his length and hands to make plays everywhere around the line of scrimmage. He lives in the backfield with violence striking out of his hips and the bend to finish sacks and TFLs. Rowe also possesses great short-area quickness, which he uses to make plays from the edge to the sideline. The explosive edge rusher forced a fumble last week and will look to provide more game-changing plays tomorrow night. He holds offers from a long list of P4 schools, such as Ohio State, Ole Miss, and Georgia.
