Zach Tom Changes Last Name to Bako-Bewele

Green Bay Packers right tackle Zach Tom has officially changed his last name to Bako-Bewele to honor his heritage, specifically his Nigerian paternal grandparents. The change will be reflected on his jersey when the 2026 season begins this September. Bako-Bewele has been a consistent presence on the offensive line since 2022, and the Packers expect him to retain his starting role at right tackle for the upcoming campaign.
