The story
Zahir Mathis put together one loud season at Maryland, racking up six sacks and 8.5 tackles for loss across 35 tackles, the kind of box score that signals a rusher who wins in bursts. The model's career-value board slots him at No. 193 in the 2028 class, and no public boards have ranked him yet — this evaluation runs on a single season of production, with no testing numbers, school context or age on file. The model still calls him a probable starter, but flags the read as low-signal, working off one data group instead of the full picture.

Our two reads split on him — the consensus-calibrated view runs much hotter than the board slot, and no public boards rank him yet to break the tie. Treat the range as wide.
