Impact linebacker powering Southern Illinois’ comeback defense
Behm is a high-motor, physically resilient linebacker whose return from a foot injury has made him one of Southern Illinois’ most important defenders; reports from Saluki coverage say he was back at full strength and leading the team in tackles early in the season, including a 16-tackle outing that was the most by a Saluki since 2002. His value goes beyond the box score: he brings proven production, toughness, and a clear comeback narrative that suggests he can anchor a defense and fit a program looking for urgency, range, and steady tackling.
