Salukis Senior DE Bringing FCS Grit with Tackles and Turnovers
Southern Illinois senior DE Caden Reeves (6-3, 285 lbs) has posted 22 tackles, 1 sack, 1 FF, and 2 FR through the 2025 season, anchoring a 6-4 Salukis squad in the MVC[1][9]. A two-time Kansas 5A All-State HS star with 148 tackles and 10 sacks from St. Thomas Aquinas, he's evolved into a reliable rotational starter—peaking with 5 tackles, 1.5 TFL, and 1 sack at Austin Peay in 2024[3]. Plays with relentless hustle and QB pressure (3 hurries '24), no injury red flags, and thrives alongside brother Peyton on the D-line[6][7]. Ideal for teams seeking tough, FCS-proven depth with championship pedigree—pure motor won't quit.[1][3][9]
