  Draft Scout by Conference









  Determined to piece together a productive 2021 season after two consecutive years filled with adversity, Dorian Gerald sought the advice of a former defensive lineman who reeled in accolades during his playing days. He didn't have to look very far. A first-team NAIA All-American and two-time all-conference performer at Pittsburg (Kan.) State in the 1980s, Sam Pittman has offered Gerald bits of insight and wisdom on what can make the redshirt senior an impact player on a revamped front. Those conversations appear to have resonated. "We always talk about motor," Gerald said Wednesday following the Razorbacks' 11th preseason practice. "We need motor and we need go, go, go, go."

Not every player with the setback history of Gerald would continue to push and fight like he has. He suffered injuries - including a season-ending one to his neck in 2019 - in each of the Razorbacks' last two season openers, and was limited a year ago. Gerald also missed time late last season as Arkansas and its defensive line group battled the effects of covid-19. But all of that is now behind him, and his sole focus is the road ahead. "It's going pretty smooth. Coming off the injury, I've been getting better," Gerald said. "I feel like I've never been injured before. I feel like I'm healthy again, and that's been the main thing for my coaches - being healthy." - Northwest Arkansas Times
