Sam Hendricks, a second-team All-OVC tight end for Eastern Illinois Panthers in 2012, earned preseason CFPA watch list honors with his versatile skill set from high school QB days, helping deliver a full ride to EIU after leading Brown County HS. No longer an active college player—transitioned to University of New Mexico assistant AD for compliance in August 2024—this gritty, multi-positional talent showcases leadership and football IQ ideal for teams seeking high-character vets, though his on-field days ended post-college.
