Vikings Bring in Record-Setting QB With Local Ties After Award-Winning Season

Head coach Kevin O’Connell and the Minnesota Vikings will hold their rookie minicamp from May 9 through May 11, and they will have a new quarterback in Zach Zebrowski slinging the ball to their group of roster hopefuls while also looking to make the cut.

Zebrowski was a two-year starter at the University of Central Missouri.

“@zach_zebrowski5 is off to rookie mini camp with the @Vikings,” the Mules’ social media team posted on X on May 8. “#EPIC.”

Zebrowski is a mobile QB listed at 6-foot-2 and a little over 200 pounds. He has put up gaudy numbers, but he also hails from not one but two smaller programs. Still, Zebrowski was CBS Sports’ Emory Hunt’s No. 1 QB off the board in a small college mock draft.

“Zebrowski is a two-time winner of the Harlon Hill Trophy, which is the Division II equivalent of the Heisman Trophy, after a sensational career at Central Missouri,” Hunt wrote in April. “He’s one of the best QBs in the draft class, regardless of subdivision, and to me, the clear-cut top small college quarterback in the country.”

Zebrowski completed 68.3% of his passes for 9,881 yards, 101 touchdowns, and 17 interceptions as the Mules’ QB1. He threw 61 touchdown passes in 2023.

“Best 2 years of my life!” Zebrowski posted on X in December. “Go Mules [heart hands emoji].”
