Kevin Hamlin was an instant-impact linebacker at Eastern Kentucky
Kevin Hamlin’s EKU profile screams dependable, ball-hawking linebacker: in the 2011 season he started all 12 games, finished fifth on the team with 71 tackles, and led the OVC with 4 interceptions, including a pick-six against Southeast Missouri[5]. EKU’s own scouting note said he “seems to always be around the football,” which is the kind of trait coaches love because it travels beyond the stat sheet[5]. He also earned All-OVC second-team honors in 2012, signaling league-wide respect for his consistency and playmaking[15].
