2025 Summer Scouting - Is Penn State DL Zane Durant a player to watch for the Giants?

Could the New York Giants look to reinforce their defensive line again in 2026?

Rakeem Nunez-Roches will likely be a former Giant, as may be Jordon Riley and D.J. Davidson. The top of the Giants’ depth chart should be stout with Dexter Lawrence and Darrius Alexander, but their depth may once again be suspect.

If so, Zane Durant out of Penn State might already be a familiar face who’s caught their eye.

The Giants have scouted Penn State heavily in recent years, drafting Theo Johnson in 2023 and Abdul Carter in 2024. Durant is undersized for a defensive tackle, but he’s also explosively powerful and athletic.
