EKU’s one-man disruption engine off the edge
In the 2017 season at Eastern Kentucky, Luder Jean Louis was a high-motor defensive end who turned pressure into production: 52 tackles, 16 tackles for loss, 10 sacks, and 12 quarterback hurries, with 0.91 sacks per game and 1.5 TFLs per game ranking among the nation’s best. He stood out for explosive first-step quickness, finishing speed, and the kind of backfield violence coaches love—plus he delivered in big spots, including three sacks vs. Austin Peay and strong games against Kentucky and Western Kentucky. If you want a proven edge rusher with disruption upside, he was absolutely a fit.
