Ubayd Steed brings veteran playmaking and tone-setting physicality to SIU’s secondary
In the 2024 season, Southern Illinois safety Ubayd Steed was a second-team All-MVFC pick after leading SIU with 95 tackles, adding 4.0 tackles for loss, 2 forced fumbles, 1 interception and 3 pass breakups. He’s the kind of disruptive, downhill defensive back who shows up in big games, with multiple double-digit tackle outings and a knack for creating turnovers. The fit is obvious for teams wanting a reliable, experienced safety with range, urgency and a nose for the ball — the type who raises the floor of a defense.
