Central Michigan’s Relentless Edge-Wrecker With Proven Production
Michael Heldman has emerged as a high-motor, production-heavy force for Central Michigan, using his 6-4, 260-pound frame and long five-year track record to disrupt plays both off the edge and against the run. In 2025, he led the Chippewas with 10.5 sacks and 16.5 tackles for loss, and he also flashed playmaking juice with 53 pressures, four pass breakups, and two forced fumbles. Beyond the stats, his rise from under-the-radar recruit to All-MAC performer suggests toughness, consistency, and real developmental upside—an easy fit for teams that want effort, versatility, and a pass-rush finisher.
