Dekkers, 6-6, 210, participated in the team’s rookie minicamp on a tryout basis this past weekend. After playing at Iowa State for three seasons, the Hawarden, Iowa native finished his college career at Iowa Western in 2024, where he completed 288-of-449 passes (64.1 pct.) for a school-record 3,806 yards with 32 touchdowns, leading the Reivers to a #2 final national ranking in the National Junior College Athletic Association. In 2022, he completed 302-of-457 passes (Big 12-best 66.1 pct.) for 3,044 yards with 19 touchdowns for the Cyclones, earning honorable mention All-Big 12.
To make room on the roster for Dekkers, the Saints waived LB Anfernee Orji, who first signed with the team in 2023 as an undrafted free agent.
