WATERTOWN — Matt Kepler has always been viewed as a leader, both in the U.S. Army and as the defensive captain for the Watertown Red and Black.
The 28-year-old middle linebacker is back in the fold for the nation’s oldest semipro football team after missing last season while serving a deployment in Afghanistan.
Kepler has collected a team-high 19 tackles through Watertown’s first two games and has provided veteran leadership for the defense.
