Dwight McGlothern played his high school football at Klein Oak and was a two-way standout. McGlothern tallied 15 interceptions on defense during his prep career along with 2,593 receiving yards and 34 touchdowns on offense. He was graded as a 4-star prospect by Rivals.com and ESPN, while receiving a 3-star grade from 247Sports. He was highly recruited, receiving offers from several power five programs. He chose LSU as his next step in his football career.
In his first season with LSU, McGlothern played in 7 games off the bench, recording only 9 tackles in the shortened season. In his sophomore year, he played in 10 games with 6 starts. The increase in playing time led to 32 tackles, six pass breakups, one forced fumble, and one interception for McGlothern.
After the 2021 season, he decided to enter the transfer portal and chose to transfer to Arkansas before the 2022 season. He made an immediate impact for the Razorbacks’ defense last year, starting all 13 games and recording career highs in every stat. He made 52 tackles, 4 interceptions, 2 forced fumbles, and 10 pass breakups. This performance earned him Second-Team All-SEC honors from the league’s coaches and third-team recognition from Pro Football Focus.
This season with Arkansas, McGlothern played 9 games with 6 starts. He missed time in October after sustaining a concussion at the end of September. However, in his limited playing time, he still impressed, making 20 tackles, 3 TFL, 1 forced fumble, and 3 interceptions. He played well enough after returning from his concussion to keep himself on NFL draft boards for this year.
