Demarcus Hendricks is Arkansas State’s disruptive edge rusher with proven big-game production
In 2025, Hendricks emerged as a true difference-maker for Arkansas State, earning First Team All-Sun Belt honors after posting 53 tackles, 13.5 tackles for loss, and a team-leading 8.5 sacks, with six games featuring at least a half-sack and a standout two-sack, seven-tackle effort that won him conference Defensive Player of the Week recognition.[7][11] What makes him intriguing beyond the box score is his knack for creating negative plays, his motor in key moments, and his ability to tilt a game plan from the edge; at 6-foot-2, 246 pounds with solid burst and block-shedding traits, he projects as a fit for teams needing an energetic, high-impact DE who can win with effort, timing, and disruption rather than just raw size.[7][10]
