Arkansas’ under-the-radar tight end with hometown roots and real size
Demetrius Dean has the look of a classic Arkansas tight end: a 6-3, 245-pound hometown product who was praised as a top-10 in-state recruit out of Fayetteville and noted for strong production as a high school receiver, including 29 catches for 444 yards and 11 touchdowns in 2010. He stands out for size, local familiarity, and red-zone value rather than flash, which makes him intriguing if you want a physical, reliable TE who understands the program’s culture. The clearest question is whether his game translates beyond development; the profile says competitive edge, not finished polish.
