Redshirt Soph DB Trey Liebhardt: Special Teams Engine with Gritty, 185-lb Cornerback Profile
Trey Liebhardt, a 5'11", 185-lb redshirt sophomore defensive back for Central Michigan, is a high-intensity special teams standout who logged two solo tackles in three games during the 2025 season [2][3]. His differentiator isn't flashy stats (0 INTs, 0 PDs in 2025) but his relentless coverage on kick units and physicality at the catch point, earning him a 67 overall rating in EA Sports College Football 26 that reflects solid, reliable fundamentals [3][4]. While he hasn't yet cracked the primary starting DB lineup, Liebhardt’s Chardon, OH roots and redshirt status suggest he’s building a foundation for a breakout 2026 campaign as a redshirt junior (listed at 6'0", 190 lbs on the 2026 roster) [3][6]. He’s a fit for teams needing a tough, low-maintenance special teams contributor who can develop into a depth cornerback with room to grow in size and coverage instincts.
