Zdroik is gonna be a force
Coming in at No. 46 is a beast of a defender in Air Force defensive tackle Payton Zdroik. He was named to the preseason all-Mountain West team in the preseason by the media.
He was named to our staff third-team all-conference team in the preseason, so he is a player.
This past year year Zdroik was second on the Falcons with 10 tackles for a loss and also 5.5 sacks.
His 2022 season was a true breakout season by starting in 10 of the 13 games but in 2021 he did not see the field at all. This could lead to a 2023 season that could propel him to one of the elite down lineman in the Mountain West.
