In 2023, the Texans officially added Kilian Zierer to their international/exempt list. A native of Munich, Germany, Zierer did not start playing football until he was 16 years old. Despite his late start, his impressive wingspan of 83 5/8 inches and his 6-foot-7, 304-pound build caught the attention of college scouts.
After receiving a scholarship to play at the College of the Canyons, where he was ranked as the No.1 JUCE prospect at his position by Rivals, Zierer quickly made a name for himself as a starting left tackle for the Tigers in 2022. In March 2023, he signed with the Texans as an undrafted free agent.
However, Zierer’s time with the team was cut short when he suffered an ankle injury and was placed on injured reserve late in training camp. Despite this setback, Zierer’s potential and skill on the field make him a promising addition to the Texans roster. His journey from Germany to playing college football in the US and now with the Texans is a true testament to his dedication and hard work.
Fans can expect great things from Zierer as he continues to pursue his football career in the NFL. With his impressive physical attributes and talent on the field, he has all the tools necessary to succeed at the next level. The Texans are excited about what Zierer brings to their roster and look forward to seeing him develop into a star player in years to come.
