8. Jordan Domineck
Domineck transferred to Arkansas from Georgia Tech in 2022. While his commitment didn't turn anyone's head, his play on the field did. He never took the starting position but played every game, leading the defensive line with 7.5 sacks. He also had 34 tackles, 9.5 tackles for loss, and two forced fumbles.
His first big moment came in his first game as a Razorback. Against Cincinnati, he had only one solo tackle, but he made it count. Arkansas was up by a touchdown with the Bearcats on the move. In the middle of the the play-by-play analyst saying that Arkansas didn't have a true pass-rusher on the team, Domineck spun free on the edge and strip-sacked Cincinnati's quarterback, foreshadowing Arkansas leading the SEC in sacks.
Sack. Forced fumble. AND fumble recovery.

After only one season, Domineck entered the transfer portal after initially announcing his return in 2023. He decision rubbed some the wrong way, but was the first lesson on the realities of the NIL era.
