Kevis Coley’s 2005 Southern Miss season was all about thump, production, and disruptive plays
In the 2005 season, Kevis Coley was a tone-setting Southern Miss linebacker who piled up 150 tackles, 13 tackles for loss, five sacks, two forced fumbles, and four fumble recoveries, earning C-USA Defensive Player of the Year and first-team all-conference honors.[3][6] His game was built on high motor, downhill violence, and instincts that consistently found the ball, and his tackle total ranked among the nation’s best that year.[3][6] If you want a linebacker who brings run-stuffing urgency and playmaking edge, Coley was exactly that kind of fit.[3][14]
