High-Motor Edge Rusher with Power and Upside at Sam Houston
Keelan Cox is a 6'4", 240-pound graduate edge defender for the Sam Houston Bearkats who brings a high-motor, physical presence off the edge, highlighted by 4.0 sacks and 1 tackle in the 2024 season. After an injury-shortened 2022 and a quiet 2023 at Wyoming, Cox has shown flashes of disruptive pass-rush ability and strong run defense, traits that earned him a transfer to Sam Houston in 2025. His high school production at Manvel (7.5–9.0 sacks as a senior) and junior college experience underscore his raw power and technique, while his EA SPORTS™ College Football 26 rating of 75 and 84 acceleration suggest he’s a quick, explosive athlete with room to grow. For a team seeking a relentless, developmental edge rusher with size, strength, and a competitive edge, Cox offers a compelling blend of potential and toughness.
