Desmond Golden Desmond Golden 6'2" | 290 lbs | DL Jonesboro | 2026 State AR is a true gap plug, utilizing his abilities to be strong, stout, and effective in stopping the run. He consistently draws double teams, giving his teammates an opportunity. Golden demonstrates solid quickness off the snap, along with solid pad level, hand placement, and lower body strength, which allow him to drive the OL back into the pocket or disengage from blocks to make plays at the LOS. He effectively uses his upper body strength to engage and extend his reach, enabling him to shed blocks and react quickly to the ball carrier.

Note – 2.8 GPA
