Donovan Whitten is a rising Arkansas DL who earned his spot the hard way
Whitten, a redshirt junior defensive lineman for Arkansas in the 2025 season, is a former high school quarterback who made a rare position flip from linebacker to the defensive line and later earned a scholarship, a strong signal of trust from the staff. He has not yet produced big box-score numbers, but his value is in versatility, work ethic, and steady development as a walk-on-turned-contributor. That profile screams coachable, toughness-first depth with upside.
