Texas A&M OT Trey Zuhn III Is Just the Packers’ Type

The Green Bay Packers have a very specific type of player they target when drafting for their organization. Picks are a premium asset for this team, which has long been a draft-and-develop organization. Not only are there athletic thresholds a player must meet, but they also crave positional versatility and experience at the college level. When it comes to meeting all of those requirements, Texas A&M offensive tackle Trey Zuhn III has Packer written all over him.

Zuhn could come in immediately and fill a few key needs for the Packers. He would provide a high-level depth option off the bench for the 2026 season, which this team currently lacks. He would also be a starter-in-waiting, similar to Jordan Morgan two years ago, in the event the team moves on from Aaron Banks next season or if someone like Anthony Belton doesn’t pan out.

Zuhn made 37 career starts (54 total appearances) in college and has played snaps at left tackle, both guard spots, and center. He could spend 2026 as Green Bay’s Swiss Army knife lineman while it finds the best long-term spot for him. After redshirting at Texas A&M his freshman year, he quickly became a fixture on their offensive line and one of the most consistent offensive linemen in the SEC. He started at left tackle for three seasons, where he earned All-SEC third-team honors in 2024.

In 2025, he added reps at center to his repertoire, as well as at right and left guard, and was the centerpiece of a unit that ranked second in the SEC in rushing with 195.5 yards per game. Being able to add that versatility allowed him to shoot up teams’ draft boards. The former two-time team captain is a menacing athlete at 6’6”, 320 lbs., and is an elite pass blocker. Last season, he earned Pro Football Focus’ highest-ever pass-protection grade (96.8) after allowing just two sacks and 10 pressures in 16 games for the Aggies.

Given that his pass blocking graded out as elite and is thus his most pro-ready trait, his run blocking leaves something to be desired, making it his biggest weakness. Multiple scouting reports mention his shorter arms getting the better of him, with longer defenders able to use their leverage and create separation that he’s unable to close in time.

That might be a concern for a Packers offensive line that really struggled to run the ball for long stretches in 2025, with subpar run blocking a major culprit. Adding another big body that struggles to move defenders in the run game might not be the best idea. However, getting him with NFL coaches and in the right scheme could alleviate some of those concerns over time.

While some experts have questioned what his best position will be in the NFL, most are projecting him as a center. However, Zuhn seems to think it’s all of the above and can step in immediately at any of the five spots.

“I’m just as confident at five positions,” he said during the NFL Combine, “and I can play them all at the highest level.”

His shorter arm length (32 ½”) suggests he’s much more suited for the interior in the NFL, which would be appealing to the Packers.

Green Bay’s guards are the most unsettled part of its offensive line. Former first-round pick Jordan Morgan is finally going to get a chance to start at left tackle to replace the departing Rasheed Walker. Zach Tom should be fully back from his injury-riddled 2025 season and will return to being a consistent presence at right tackle. They also just re-signed Sean Rhyan to a three-year deal to be their center. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, it’s hard to see that changing.

That leaves Aaron Banks, the disappointing free-agent addition from a season ago, at left guard, and 2025 second-round pick Anthony Belton at right guard. While both showed flashes of solid play a year ago, they were by far the most inconsistent of all Green Bay’s offensive linemen. Belton finished his rookie season with just a 50 overall PFF grade, and Banks with a 53. If the opportunity exists to replace one of them with someone with a higher ceiling, such as Zuhn, the Packers would likely take advantage of it.

We still don’t know which opportunities the Packers can take advantage of in the draft. While he has started the draft process projected as a mid-round pick, players like Zuhn are easy for teams to fall in love with. That’s why it shouldn’t be a surprise to see him in recent mocks drafted as early as the third round.

All signs point to the Packers needing to take him with either their 52nd or 84th pick for a real shot at acquiring his services. They have a long history of taking experienced college tackles and turning them into high-level guards and centers – Josh Sitton, T.J. Lang, and Elgton Jenkins, just to name a few. Don’t be surprised if Trey Zuhn III is the next name on that list.
