DE; 6-3; 260;
Long Beach, Calif.
(Dominguez/Los Angeles Harbor College)
Rivals: ★ ★ ★ ★; Scout: ★ ★★ ★

What John Clay says: Big pickup as Evans went down to UK and U of L before choosing Knetucky. Rivals ranked him the 15th best junior college prospect out there. Temmate of fellow signee Chris Matthews. Had 7.5 quarterback sacks in two seasons. Could impact defensive end spot looking for depth.

What UK says: The nation's No. 15 junior-college prospect by Rivals.com … Listed No. 33 in the juco ranks by SuperPrep … Played at Los Angeles Harbor College, where he was a teammate of current Wildcat signee Chris Matthews … Participated in 15 games during his two seasons at Harbor, totaling 63 tackles, 19.5 tackles for loss, 7.5 quarterback sacks, four pass breakups, four quarterback hurries and one fumble recovery … Coached by Andrew Alvillar and Brett Peabody.

What Rich Brooks says: “DeQuin is a guy who really should be in position to compete for the starting spot at right defensive end vacated by graduation. He is a guy that has great pass-rush skills and the ability to chase from sideline to sideline. We feel like he will give us some experience at the very important defensive end position.”
