Charles Correa brings every-down production and disruptive edge to Purdue’s linebacker room
Correa looks like a high-motor, productive **Mike linebacker** for Purdue, combining size (6'3", 230) with proven 2025 production: 96 tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss, 3 sacks, and 2 passes defended across 12 starts. He stands out for tackling volume, backfield disruption, and the versatility to show up in both run support and pressure packages, which makes him appealing for a defense that values reliability and toughness. The main question for evaluators is whether his impact can scale against top Big Ten talent, but the production profile says he’s a legitimate fit for a physical, assignment-sound front.[1][3][5]
