DK Mays brings pro-style length and upside to Houston’s defensive front
In the 2026 season, DK Mays is listed by Houston at 6-4, 250 pounds and enters as a sophomore defensive lineman with a classic frame for edge-to-interior versatility.[1] His profile suggests upside more than box-score noise right now: long, sturdy, and developmental, with the kind of build that can add power without sacrificing movement.[1][2] There are no widely available 2025 game stats yet, so the best reason to care is projection—Mays looks like a high-ceiling trench piece who could become a disruptive fit if he keeps stacking strength, technique, and snaps.[1][2]
