Keith Shoulders brings proven tackler’s instincts and downhill reliability to Samford’s linebacker room
Keith Shoulders’ defining trait is production: Samford lists him as the team’s tackle leader in 2007 with 98 stops, including 77 solo tackles, plus 4 sacks and 11 tackles for loss as a senior, which signals a linebacker who can diagnose quickly and finish plays in the backfield.[1] The main reason to care is his blend of volume tackling and disruptive edge, a profile that fits teams wanting a physical, assignment-sound defender who can anchor the middle and create negative plays rather than just clean up after them.[1]
