Jeremiah Baxter brings size, veteran experience, and playmaking instincts to SIU’s secondary
Jeremiah Baxter is a 6-2, 198-pound senior cornerback for Southern Illinois who arrived from Frostburg State with a résumé that includes 50 tackles, 5 interceptions, 11 passes defended, and 2 blocked kicks in 27 games before the 2024 season[1]. In the 2024 season, he also logged 18 total tackles and 2 passes defended, while showing a useful extra gear as a ball carrier with 11 rushing attempts for 41 yards and a score[2]. He looks like a physical, versatile DB with real special-teams value, and his prior production suggests a player who can compete, tackle, and create splash plays rather than just survive on the perimeter[1][2].
