RJ Dardy brings college-ready size and depth to EKU’s defensive front
RJ Dardy, a 6'3", 256-pound defensive lineman from Dublin, Georgia, profiles as a sturdy, versatile interior defender for Eastern Kentucky in the 2026 cycle, and he’s already being listed on the roster as a sophomore.[1][2][3] What makes him interesting is the frame and forward value: he gives EKU a physical DL body with room to develop, and preview coverage noted he adds punch to the defensive line rotation.[1][2][3] He looks like a fit for a team that wants size, effort, and developmental upside more than immediate splashy stat production.
