Veteran Redhawk DL Sam Keeper brings steady production and punch-up-front toughness
In the 2024 season, Sam Keeper started 12 games for Southeast Missouri State and posted 28 tackles, 2 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, a pass breakup, 2 QB hurries, and a fumble recovery; his profile screams dependable, physical, and disruptive in spurts. The big differentiator is his snap-to-snap reliability as a senior interior defender, plus the fact that he battled back after a knee injury in 2024 to reclaim a starting role. If a team wants a tough, experienced DL who can anchor, finish, and bring veteran edge, Keeper fits the bill.
