EKU linebacker Druce Clarke Jr. looks like a developmental, physical front-seven piece
Druce Clarke Jr. is a 5'11", 231-pound linebacker for Eastern Kentucky who has added size since arriving on campus and brings a proven tackling résumé from high school, where he posted 98 total tackles in 10 games his senior year and forced and recovered a fumble.[9] He did not play in 2023 or 2024, so his current on-field college production is still a question mark, but that also makes him more of a projection than a finished product.[9] The fit is strongest for a team that values toughness, special-teams value, and upside over immediate stat-sheet impact.[1][2][9]
