Mekhi Ferrell gives UAPB a sturdy, experienced presence on the defensive front
In the 2024 season, Arkansas-Pine Bluff senior DL Mekhi Ferrell appeared in limited action, posting 2 tackles and showing the kind of depth-chart grit coaches love from a rotational interior lineman[1][5]. At 6-foot-1, 243 pounds, the Pine Bluff native brings compact leverage, local pride, and veteran familiarity to the Golden Lions’ front line[1][3][10]. He is not a flashy stat-sheet monster, but his appeal is in reliability, toughness, and being the sort of lower-variance fit who can absorb snaps and do the dirty work when a defense needs someone to hold the point.
