Donald Quarles brings Bucknell a feisty, ball-hawking cornerback profile
Donald Quarles has long been defined by competitiveness and playmaking on the edge: Bucknell listed him as a veteran cornerback in 2012, and in that season he tied for the FCS lead with five pass breakups in one game against Lafayette while also posting a career-high-tying five tackles[5][11]. He was a high-upside recruit out of Saint John’s College High School, where he earned all-conference and all-city recognition and showed two-way athleticism[12]. If you want a physical, confident defender who can disrupt throws and play with swagger, Quarles fits the bill; if you need size, his listed frame was undersized even for his era[3][10].
