His testing numbers
Testing numbers
none yetNo testing numbers for Darrell yet. His family can add his 40, shuttle, jumps, bench and track times below, with proof.
How we know each number. Verified: a testing company or state meet result we matched to his name, class and date. Coach-confirmed: his coach said yes from a school email. Video-evidenced: a clip of the timer or tape that we watched. Self-reported, in grey: his family's word. We never scrape recruiting or stats sites; every number here was sent by his family.

His best-fitting offers first; pick any 4 of Darrell's 25 to compare. Green is the best in each row. Room counts the players at his spot with two or more years left. Players like him: up to five past recruits whose offer boards looked most like his and who signed at that school, from classes whose careers are over; a real season means 100+ passes, 50+ carries, 15+ catches, 25+ tackles, 3+ sacks or 2+ interceptions. History, not a forecast for him. How fit is made.

A real season: 100+ passes, 50+ carries, 15+ catches, 25+ tackles, 3+ sacks or 2+ interceptions; linemen are left out of that one because the box score does not count their work.

Past boards are offers at signing day; his is the board he holds today (Nov 6, 2026). Classes 2016 to 2026 are thin in our record today, so most matches come from 2010 to 2015. 7 of these 10 have finished their draft window. History, not a forecast for him.
