Zashon Rich is a lean, 6-foot-2 cornerback who turned in 10 pass breakups to go with 57 tackles in his only charted season at Kansas State — length and ball production in the same box score. The model's career-value board has him at No. 25 in the 2028 class, but that grade currently sits alone: zero public boards have him rostered anywhere.
