Dontae Samuels brings size and fresh-upside to Army’s defensive line
Dontae Samuels is a 6-3, 275-pound freshman defensive lineman at Army West Point, giving the Black Knights a big-bodied interior presence with room to develop into a disruptive run-stopper in 2026. West Point’s roster lists him as a freshman with no game statistics yet, so the real selling point is projection: he has the frame, strength, and system fit to add value in Army’s physical front if he keeps ascending. If you want an under-the-radar DL with upside, he’s worth a look.
