Former Tennessee Vols defensive back Doneiko Slaughter is signing with the Jacksonville Jaguars as an undrafted free agent according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. 

Slaughter spent the first four seasons of his career at Tennessee before transferring to Arkansas for his final season of eligibility. 

Slaughter, 6-foot/190 lbs from Roswell, GA, signed with Tennessee as a three-star recruit during the 2020 recruiting cycle. 

The Georgia native played in 43 games for the Vols, totaling 87 tackles, one interception, and three sacks. Slaughter's lone season at Arkansas was extremely productive as he totaled 80 tackles, one sack, and an interception. 

One of Slaughter's most productive games in 2024 came in Arkansas' win against Tennessee. Slaughter recorded eight tackles against his former team. 

The most memorable moment of Slaughter's career was easily his big hit against Kentucky in 2022 that led to a Will Levis interception.
