Arkansas linebacker Dwayne Eugene Jr. was a dependable, disruptive senior with a nose for tackles
Eugene’s value for Arkansas came from steadiness and production: in 2017, he started seven games at outside linebacker, posted 31 tackles, and set career highs with 5.5 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks, while also adding an interception, two fumble recoveries, and two quarterback hurries. He was the kind of defender coaches trust because he showed up in big spots, led the team in tackles three times over his career, and consistently made plays behind the line of scrimmage. That profile fits a team needing a smart, physical, high-effort linebacker who can finish plays and handle meaningful snaps.
