Donovan Ezeiruaku headlines the Cowboys’ edge depth as Dallas closes out the preseason, with his brother Aiden watched closely for a potential football dynasty in the making. Donovan’s pedigree runs deep: 13.5 sacks over his first three seasons at Boston College, then 16.5 as a senior, landing him a first-team All-American nod and ACC Defensive Player of the Year honor last season. Now in Dallas, he’s eyeing a breakout role and more importantly, a path to consistent edge pressure in a defensive front that’s looking for immediate impact.

Aiden Ezeiruaku, a standout at Williamstown High School in New Jersey, sits on the national radar as a No. 90 recruit in the 2028 class per 247Sports. Donovan says clips are already flowing his way and that his little brother could be “better than me” at the same age. The story isn’t just about bloodlines; it’s about a family pipeline feeding the Cowboys with young, athletic talent and a compelling narrative that fantasy players will want to monitor as the season unfolds.

From a fantasy lens, Donovan’s upside hinges on snap share and schematic shift toward more aggressive edge pressure. If he earns a steady bite of the rotation, his pass-rush ceiling could translate into timely sacks and quarterback hits, especially in sub-packages Dallas favors. The Cowboys’ defensive line youth movement and the potential for disruptive plays make him a name to watch in deeper DL formats and DFS underdogs.

The human element—the brothers supporting each other and chasing pro dreams—adds a dynamic layer that could influence development and motivation. As Aiden progresses toward college signing day, Donovan’s ascent in the NFL could serve as a blueprint for a football family turning heads in Texas and beyond.
