Southern Miss’s 6-foot-7 anchor is forcing his way into the tackle mix
Dante Devine enters the 2026 season as a big-bodied, high-upside junior transfer at Southern Miss, listed at 6-foot-7 and 325 pounds, and he’s already in the battle for a starting right tackle job. The intriguing part is the fit: he brings the frame, length, and versatility coaches love in an offensive lineman, but the real selling point is that he’s reportedly been one of the pleasant surprises of fall camp and has pushed himself into meaningful competition before playing a Division I snap. In short: ceiling, size, and early buzz.
