Maryland transfer offensive lineman Marcus Dumervil committed to Arkansas, On3’s Hayes Fawcett has learned. He started his career at LSU and will have one year of eligibility remaining.

Dumervil spent three years in Baton Rouge before making his way to Maryland in 2023. He appeared in four games during his first season with the Terrapins, but played in 10 games in 2024, including three starts at left tackle.

While at LSU, Dumervil played in 16 games and took a redshirt as a true freshman in 2020. He made his first career start against Arkansas in 2021, and he will now get ready to suit up for the Razorbacks.

The On3 Transfer Portal Instagram account and X account are excellent resources to stay up to date with the latest moves.

Marcus Dumervil played high school football at Fort Lauderdale (Fla.) St. Thomas Aquinas, where he was a four-star prospect. He was the No. 114 overall player from the 2020 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Dumervil is the 17th newcomer for Sam Pittman and Arkansas as the Razorbacks work the transfer market. The biggest piece coming in is former Georgia Tech offensive lineman Corey Robinson II. He checks in as the No. 59 overall player and No. 6-ranked offensive tackle to enter the portal this cycle, according to the On3 Industry Transfer Rankings.

Robinson and Dumervil’s additions filled a big need for Arkansas, based on what Pittman previously said. He detailed the Razorbacks’ plans to add to the trenches throughout the portal cycle.

“Offensive line would be one (area of need),” Pittman said. “Defensive line would be one. We felt like we were pretty good at the linebacker spots. If you go back and look a couple of years ago, the world was falling because this linebacker (left), that linebacker (left).

“I think we all agreed out linebacker room was a strength for us this year. But that would be probably the least worried about (position). We need some safeties. We need some corners. But I think O-line and tight end’s a big deal. Wide receivers. We’ve got several spots to fill, but off the top of my head, that’s who it would be.”
