Football fans are losing their minds over a viral video of two-way football star Zane Rowe, a high school sophomore who plays defensive end on defense and tight end on offense.
Zane Rowe attends John H. Guyer High School in Denton, Texas, the same school that Auburn quarterback Jackson Arnold attended before college. Rowe also competes in basketball and track and field.
A class of 2027 prospect, Rowe is listed at 6-foot-5 and 240 pounds on Rivals.com. 247 Sports grades him at 90 overall, and he’s ranked as their No. 81 prospect for 2027 football recruits.
Recently, a video went viral of Rowe working out in the gym and showing off his talents on the football field. All we can say is that NFL general managers better keep a close eye on Rowe with college just a couple of years away now:
