Zane Rowe is making serious waves in high school football. As the No. 1 tight end in Texas and a five-star recruit, he’s already caught the eye of many college programs, including UNC’s Bill Belichick.
Most colleges are eyeing him for defense. Some label him a defensive end, others call him an edge rusher, but there’s more to Rowe than just brute force.
With soft hands and a natural ability to catch the ball, many would love to see him continue as a tight end at the next level. At 6’6″ and over 250 pounds as just a sophomore, he’s already “bigger than” the NFL legend Rob Gronkowski, and just as hard to bring down.
Playing for Denton Guyer, Rowe’s size and skill have earned him a unique role. He’s set to play both offense and defense. Whether catching passes or making tackles, Rowe is proving he’s built for greatness, similar to Travis Hunter. Multiple colleges have already reached out to him with an offer!
Bigger than Rob Gronkowski as a Sophomore In HS
At just a sophomore in high school, Zane Rowe is already turning heads for his incredible size and dominance on the field. Standing at 6-foot-6 and weighing 250 pounds (as reported in a viral video shared by him), he’s built like a grown man, and that’s not just hype.
And Rowe’s size isn’t just for show. He’s using it to the best of his abilities and on both sides of the ball. Coaches and scouts across the country have taken notice, and he’s already being recruited by 40 Division I programs primarily as an edge rusher. That kind of attention doesn’t come by accident.
From the look of trending videos of him, a fan posted saying, “he’s been living in the weight room, packing on muscle.” That grind, that work ethic, is what sets him apart not just from his peers, but even from elite college prospects.
His size gives him a huge advantage, whether he’s lined up on offense or defense. He’s a nightmare for defenders to bring down and a wall on the other side of the ball.
It’s rare to see someone this big, this strong, and this skilled, all rolled into one. And with two more years of high school football to go, Zane Rowe is only just getting started. Bigger than Gronk and still growing, his future is as massive as his frame.
How Zane Rowe talked to the OLB Coach, Ty Nichols
Zane Rowe has shared that he recently had a conversation with Ty Nichols, the Outside Linebackers Coach at UNC. He posted on X saying it was a great talk, and soon after, he was blessed to receive an offer from UNC Football.
“After a great conversation with Ty Nichols I am blessed to receive an offer from UNC Football, Bill Belichick.”
This shows how well the conversation must have gone and that Bill Belichick is already trying to build a roster of titans. Zane also added “#AGTG,” giving credit to God for the opportunity, showing that he is a man of faith.
Getting an offer from Belichick’s program is a huge step in his football journey and shows that his hard work is really paying off.
How Many More Colleges Are Recruiting Him
Zane Rowe’s recruiting buzz just keeps getting louder. While he recently highlighted his offer from UNC, that was his 39th offer, as seen from his Instagram highlights.
In his IG highlights, he has posted all the programs that have offered him a scholarship, and the biggest names include Texas, Ohio State, Washington, USC, Oregon, Ole Miss, Georgia, and many others.
With 40 D1 offers already, his buzz is undeniable. Coaches are paying attention, analysts are closely tracking his rise, and fans are watching each move he makes, hoping he will land on their team. Zane Rowe isn’t just making noise. He’s making a name for himself.
