On Wednesday, the Sea Dragons announced the addition of former Arkansas Razorbacks defensive lineman Markell Utsey, who will wear number 90 for Seattle. This signing comes following the tragic news of defensive lineman Chris Smith passing away earlier this week.
DL – Markell Utsey
College: Missouri (2016 – 2020), Arkansas (2021)

Markell Utsey played 5 seasons at Mizzou before transferring to Arkansas for his final year of eligibility. He appeared in 53 games (25 starts) throughout his collegiate career, totaling 54 tackles (29 solo/ 25 assisted), 6 tackles for loss, 2 sacks, 1 forced fumble, and 2 pass deflections.
