Tom Koutsos was a record-setting, all-conference workhorse for Southern Illinois
Koutsos was one of Southern Illinois’ defining backs, a two-time first-team All-MVFC runner who piled up 4,715 career rushing yards and 52 touchdowns while setting school and conference marks. His profile is built on volume, consistency, and production in big moments—he delivered three 1,000-yard seasons and helped push SIU to a 10-2 finish and its first playoff appearance in 20 years. He also played through injury adversity, including a medical redshirt, which underscores toughness and durability as key differentiators.
