Kole Sneed brings compact edge depth with proven production and plug-in toughness
In the 2025 season at St. Thomas, Kole Sneed earned All-Pioneer Football League second-team honors with 41 tackles, 11 tackles for loss, and 4.5 sacks, then transferred to Northern Illinois as a 6-foot-2, 255-pound redshirt junior who looks built for hard-nosed edge work.[12][6] He’s the kind of defender who should appeal to coaches who want a physical, high-motor DE with real backfield disruption upside, not just a body on the depth chart.[12][3]
