Shakur Smalls brings veteran, all-around versatility to Arkansas' secondary
In the 2025 season, Shakur Smalls played in 12 games for Arkansas and produced 15 tackles, 1 tackle for loss, 1 sack, 3 pass breakups, 1 fumble recovery and 2 forced fumbles, showing he can impact the game in more ways than just coverage[1][8]. At 6-foot, 209 pounds, he profiles as a physical, seasoned defensive back with experience dating back to Maine, where he was viewed as a top FCS defender and a rotational safety candidate for Arkansas[2][4][13]. If you want a DB who brings toughness, football IQ and turnover juice, he’s a sneaky-good fit.
