Thomas Broussard brings ball-hawking pedigree to Samford’s secondary
Broussard entered Samford as a decorated Louisiana defensive back, earning all-state honors and piling up 12 career interceptions in high school, with three returned for touchdowns, which points to instinct, range, and playmaking in coverage[1]. He also paired football with track success, including a state-champion 4x400 relay, a useful hint that his speed and acceleration are real separators[1]. For a team, that profile suggests a DB with coverage instincts, turnover upside, and competitive toughness more than just raw tackle volume[1].
