Tim Seevers remains the leading tackler in Coyote history, and for those who have played in the 30 years since no one has come within 100 tackles of his 437 career mark. It started with 50 stops as a redshirt freshman in 1988 followed by years with 132, 141 and 114 tackles. Included in those numbers are four sacks and seven other tackles-for-loss. Seevers also compiled four interceptions and nine pass breakups.
 
For his efforts, Seevers was rewarded with all-America honors in 1991. He is one of six all-American linebackers in program history. Seevers also earned all-NCC honors and was a two-time academic all-NCC honoree.
 
Seevers grew up in Blair, Nebraska. He began his professional career as a teacher within the York School District in Nebraska. He worked briefly for Gateway and then spent seven years at State Farm. He currently serves as a consultant for Stryker Spine in the Minneapolis area.
 
Seevers' wife, Shannon, passed away unexpectedly in 2019. They have two children, Marin and Will.
