Jesús Alberto Ocejo Zazueta

Jesús Alberto Ocejo Zazueta came through the Santos Laguna academy, where he collected age-group honours: the Dallas Cup at Sub-17 level in 2015, the Liga MX Sub-17 title that same year, and the Sub-20 championship twice over. He made his senior debut for Santos Laguna in 2017.

Loan spells shaped much of his early career. At Tampico Madero he scored seven goals in 18 appearances, and a stint at Atlas brought one goal in 15 games. It was at Leones Negros UdeG, though, that Ocejo's career changed shape. Across the 2024–2025 season he scored 25 goals in 37 league matches in the Liga de Expansión MX, and in the Clausura 2025 he finished as the tournament's top scorer with 13 goals in the regular phase, adding two more in the playoffs as Leones Negros went on to win the title against Tampico Madero. That campaign earned him the Balón de Oro as the best player in the division.

Ocejo has also worn Mexico's colours at Under-18 level, where he was capped three times. After his contract with Santos Laguna ran its course, he returned to Tampico Madero — this time as Jaiba Brava — on a permanent, free transfer.
