Veteran EKU lineman Kagen Skidmore brings captain-level toughness and trench savvy
Kagen Skidmore is a proven, old-school interior offensive lineman whose value goes beyond the box score: Eastern Kentucky’s roster lists him at 6-2, 306 as a senior, and his past as a multi-year starter, team captain, and center/guard mover shows real versatility and trustworthiness. In the 2017 season, he helped EKU allow just eight sacks in 11 games, a strong indicator of pass-protection reliability. He’s the kind of grinder coaches love—physical, experienced, and dependable—making him a smart fit for a team that wants stability and leadership in the middle of the line.
