the Redhawks’ disruptive interior force
In the 2007 season, Nick Ketelsleger emerged as a rugged defensive tackle for Southeast Missouri State, starting the final 10 games and piling up 36 tackles, 6 tackles for loss, 4 sacks, and a forced fumble. That stat line points to a player who can penetrate, collapse pockets, and create negative plays—not just eat space. The differentiator: he was already trusted in a starting role as a first-year program contributor, which usually signals toughness, dependability, and a high motor. If your team wants an interior defender who can wreck rhythm, he looks like a fit.
