Experienced UT Martin CB with ball-hawking flashes and battle-tested grit
Doug Newsome is a 5-foot-11, 180-pound redshirt senior cornerback who showed impact-play potential in 2024 before a season-ending injury cut his year short, finishing with 7 tackles, 3 pass breakups, and a quarterback hurry in four games. He brings useful traits for a secondary: competitiveness, turnover disruption, and the ability to make plays in coverage, plus enough experience to handle meaningful snaps. If you need a corner who can compete early and add depth with upside, he’s worth a close look; the main question is how fully he’s bounced back from the injury.
