Top in-state LB prospect returns from injury to run 4.64

Fort Smith Southside linebacker Darin Davenport is one of the best prospects in the state despite only playing handful of games in his high school career because of injury.

Davenport, 6-2, 225 pounds, recorded 64 tackles, one sack, one interception and a recovered fumble in 4.5 games before suffering an ACL injury to his left knee as a sophomore.

The injury bug hit him again prior to his junior season during an August practice last summer and suffered an ACL injury to his right knee.

Davenport, who’s No. 4 on his class academically, recorded 4.64 seconds in the 40 yard dash during testing on Wednesday in front of Razorbacks tight end coach Barry Lunney Jr.
