[1] A native of Indianapolis, Keevers graduated from John Marshall High School on the city’s east side before moving on to Coffeyville Community College (Kansas), where he starred as a defensive lineman during the 1984 and 1985 seasons and made the Junior College All-American team as an Honorable Mention honoree.
Keevers won the team’s Leonard Wilson Award (for “unselfishness and dedication”) in 1987, and was also nominated for the athletic department’s Red Mackey Award (for “competitive spirit, a positive attitude, loyalty, self-discipline, hard work for the best interest of the team and a willingness to help others”).
[2][3] Keevers joined the staff at UIndy in 1994, beginning a 25-year career in a variety of assistant roles, primarily coaching the defensive line and special teams (later also linebackers).
He spent twelve seasons (2001–03 and 2010–18) as defensive coordinator for the Greyhounds, ultimately under head coach Bob Bartolomeo, whom he succeeded in 2019.
His UIndy teams have qualified for the NCAA Division II football championship playoffs four times, in 2019, 2022, 2023, and 2024.
