FIU’s versatile senior OL Chad Staley brings proven durability and rare playmaking flair
Chad Staley is a senior FIU offensive lineman who brings size, experience, and versatility, with starting experience at center before becoming a regular contributor for the Panthers. In 2025, he appeared in all 13 games and earned Conference USA Offensive Lineman of the Week recognition, suggesting he was more than just depth. What makes him different is the unusual athletic profile for an OL—FIU even noted he became the first offensive lineman in program history to record a receiving touchdown—so he offers toughness, flexibility, and a little extra chaos-factor for a roster.
