Dallas Cowboys Defense: Eyeing Rueben Bain Jr. for NFL Draft
The Dallas Cowboys are eager to bolster their defense after free agency moves, with a keen interest in Miami Hurricanes edge rusher Rueben Bain Jr. for the 2026 NFL draft. Bain, a consensus All-American and ACC Defensive Player of the Year, boasts impressive stats, including 54 tackles, 15.5 tackles for loss, 9.5 sacks, a forced fumble, and a pick in the last season. Scouts compare him to Eagles Brandon Graham, praising his power, quick hands, and relentless hustle.

The NFL draft is just around the corner, from April 23-25, and if Bain slips, the Cowboys might secure their defensive ace.
