Evan Sayner brings veteran bulk and trench toughness to WKU
Evan Sayner is a 6-foot-3, 300-pound redshirt senior defensive lineman for Western Kentucky who has been a proven interior presence when healthy[1]. In 2018, he started all 12 games at defensive tackle, led WKU defensive tackles with four quarterback hurries, and finished second on the position group with 20 tackles[1]. His value is the kind coaches love: experienced, physical, and sturdy against the run, with enough burst to get into the backfield. He also showed NFL-level strength on his pro day with 30 bench-press reps and returned from a knee injury to work without a brace, suggesting real resilience and grit[1].
