Arkansas-Pine Bluff LB Diori Barnard brings a lean, active frame and early-career upside
Barnard is a 6-foot-1, 195-pound redshirt freshman linebacker for Arkansas-Pine Bluff whose profile points to developmental upside rather than finished-product production; ESPN lists him with 1 solo tackle and no sacks, turnovers, or interceptions in his current statistical footprint. [2][3] What makes him interesting is the combo of linebacker length, room to add strength, and the fact that he is still early in his college career, which can make him a fit for a staff that values coachability and long-term growth over instant impact.
