Akron S Darius Owens brings a physical, blue-collar presence with starter upside
Darius Owens is a young Akron safety who was a three-star recruit out of South Gwinnett and showed production as a senior with 56 tackles, suggesting a solid tackling base and willingness to play downhill.[1] At 5'11", 180 pounds, he has the frame to compete in the secondary and fits as a developmental fit for a defense that values reliability, effort, and open-field stopping ability.[3] He is still early in his college career, so his biggest differentiator is upside: a safety with room to grow into a dependable, assignment-sound contributor rather than a finished product.[1][3]
