Zina Umeozulu Scouting Summary
Charles Power
01/31/24

Developmental EDGE prospect with the upside to become a versatile presence as a pass rusher and edge setter. Has a big frame, at around 6-foot-4.5, 230 pounds with plus length. Should add substantial mass once in a college strength program.Emerged as a national prospect as a high school underclassman. Lines up as a defensive end while playing top competition at perennial Texas power, Allen High. Has translatable physical tools for the position. Length gives offensive tackles issues. Able to beat blocks with his length and play strength. When he’s able to time up the snap, shows the ability to dart into the backfield and make plays behind the line of scrimmage. Has an effective long-arm pass rush move. Power and anchor help in setting the edge against the run. Not overly productive on Friday nights, totaling just seven sacks over his final two years of high school. Turned in a strong showing at the Under Armour All-America Game as a senior, flashing skill level that did not always show up on high school film. Can improve his first-step quickness and consistency in game settings. Younger for the cycle, turning 18 years old in July prior to his freshman season of college.

Personal Life

Zina Umeozulu emerged onto the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex football scene with authority in the 2021 season when he was named Texas District 5-6A Defensive Newcomer of the Year at powerhouse program Allen High School. Umeozulu had 46 tackles, four tackles for a loss, six sacks and eight hurries that season. Umeozulu caused more damage as a junior, even if his sack totals were down some. Allen coaches said opponents would double-team Umeozulu, which opened up opportunities for his teammates to make plays. He still managed to record 43 tackles, 11 hurries, three fumble recoveries and three sacks in 2022. His older brother, Neto, is an offensive lineman at Texas. Away from football, Umeozulu enjoys playing video games and listening to NBA YoungBoy. His favorite restaurant is Chick-Fil-A. He plans on majoring in business in college. His parents are Okeoma and Tobe Umeozulu.
