Veteran Tulsa safety Sean O'Keefe brings size, experience, and physical edge
Sean O'Keefe is a redshirt senior safety for Tulsa in the 2026 season, listed at 6-foot-2 and 197 pounds, with 33 career games and two starts under his belt. His calling card is veteran reliability and physicality in the secondary—he’s been described as a strong safety who plays extremely physically, and he also earned 2024 Academic All-Conference recognition. The bigger story is upside through opportunity: he’s not a volume stat monster yet, but his experience, toughness, and team-first profile make him a useful fit for a defense that values steady, disciplined back-end play.
