Dareon Goodrum brings SEC-sized interior punch to Murray State
In the 2024 season, Dareon Goodrum was a 6-foot-1, 300-pound defensive lineman for Murray State with proven FBS production from Western Kentucky, where he logged 18 total tackles and 2.0 sacks across 2022-23 before moving to the Racers[4][7]. He looks like a classic inside plugger with real disruption upside: dense frame, veteran experience, and enough burst to finish plays in the backfield, which makes him more than just a space-eater[4][9]. Murray State lists him as a graduate student and 2026 roster DT, but current team stat pages show no 2026 stats yet, so he profiles more as an experienced, high-floor fit than a headline-grabbing stat monster[11].
