Keveion'ta Spears brings veteran size and disruptive interior grit to SMU
In the 2025 season, SMU DT Keveion'ta Spears appeared in all 13 games, started two, and posted 15 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, a QB hurry, and four pass breakups, showing a rare blend of interior sturdiness and active hands for a 6-4, 313-pound lineman[1][4]. His value goes beyond the box score: the multi-school veteran has grown into a dependable, assignment-sound defender who can clog run lanes, flash enough burst to penetrate, and stay on the field. If a team wants a tough, experienced defensive tackle with size, versatility, and some sneaky pass-defense impact, Spears is a strong fit[1][12].
