Tackle-Over has become Bread-and-Butter for the Kentucky Offense

Zalance Heard transferred to Monroe (La.) Neville after playing his sophomore season at Bastrop (La.) High. He was a first-team all-district selection in 2020 at Bastrop. Heard could be an impact defensive lineman in college, but he moved to offensive line exclusively as a junior to get ready for the next level. Heard plans on majoring in either history or kinesiology. He said his hobby is playing video games. His parents are Rodney Williams and Veronica Heard. He has a sibling, Rodney.

We see several similarities between Zalance Heard and D.J. Fluker as high school prospects. Both have supreme length with arms that measure in the 36-inch range. They also both began their careers as defensive linemen before taking up offense tackle as upperclassmen. There are similarities on the field, as well. Like Fluker, Heard is a strong run blocker who plays with a physical edge. Heard is about an inch taller than Fluker and weighs less at the same stage, though we wouldn't be surprised to see their ultimate playing weight be the same - in the 330 pound range. 

Not enough on film yet to project a level. Add more game film and verified measurables to unlock a full projection.

Elite / Top 100

Physically-gifted offensive tackle prospect with outstanding length and block-finishing skills. Has prototypical size at the position, measuring 6-foot-5.5, 308 pounds prior to his senior season. Possesses elite length, with his arms checking in at 36 inches on college visits. Began his career as a defensive lineman prior to transferring to northeast Louisiana power Neville High. Played exclusively at right tackle as a junior before flipping to left tackle as a senior. His defensive lineman athleticism shows up by way of plus movement skills, particularly in the run game where he’s a mauling presence. Was already a dominant drive blocker in his first full season playing offensive line. Has natural upper body strength to go with his length and athleticism. Plays with a nasty disposition and works to finish blocks with authority. Is a bit high-hipped and will need to continue adding strength and flexibility to his base. Also needs to continue developing his pass set technique as he gains experience at the position. Looked like the top offensive line prospect on hand at the Under Armour All-America Game by a considerable margin. Was a top performer for the week after a strong showing in practice and the game, where he was generating a considerable push as a run blocker.
