Big, experienced interior lineman with proven starting upside
Darius Neals is a 6-foot-4, 319-pound redshirt sophomore OL who made 10 starts in 2025, mostly at left guard, after redshirting in 2024, giving Tennessee State a physically mature blocker with real game reps and positional flexibility. His best selling points are size, power, and interior steadiness rather than flashy stats, which is exactly what you want from a lineman: someone who can anchor, absorb contact, and keep the pocket and run lanes stable. If you need a young lineman who already looks like a starter and brings durability/value-driven toughness, he fits the profile.
