long, seasoned SIU edge who brought effort and discipline
Kyle Cavil was a 6-5, 241-pound defensive end for Southern Illinois who, in the 2012 season, played in eight games and posted five tackles and a quarterback hurry; earlier SIU materials also list him with strong academic recognition and a high-school résumé built on 85 tackles, 12.5 sacks, and 21 tackles for loss. The clear selling points are length, experience, and a steady, hard-working profile that fit a rotational edge role more than a pure stat-stuffing star. If a team wants a mature, dependable defensive end with background as a disciplined contributor, he’s the kind of glue guy coaches appreciate.
