Jeremy Kellem is the Blue Raiders’ tone-setting, tackle-first safety
Jeremy Kellem has been a reliability piece for Middle Tennessee at safety, built around heavy tackle volume, ball production, and a willingness to play near the line of scrimmage. In his MTSU bio, he is listed as the team’s leading tackler with 108 stops, plus 2.5 tackles for loss, two interceptions, six pass breakups, and a hurry, while ESPN also lists him as a safety with 168 career solo tackles, 10 interceptions, and 6 forced fumbles. That profile says he is a high-effort, disruptive defender who fits best for a team wanting a physical, experienced back-end enforcer.
