Alex Broshears is already carving out a role at SIU on special teams
In 2025, the Southern Illinois freshman played in 11 of 12 games and was used primarily on special teams, finishing with six tackles and two assists; reports also noted he led the team with six special teams tackles at one point, which points to immediate trust in his toughness and assignment soundness. His value is less about box-score production and more about reliability, physicality, and willingness to do the dirty work—a strong fit for teams needing a disciplined, high-effort depth piece at long snapper and coverage units.
