Freshman linebacker Charles Light brings size, upside, and a clean slate to UVA Wise
In the 2026 season, Charles Light is listed on the UVA Wise roster as a freshman linebacker at 6'2", 223 pounds, which gives him a sturdy frame for downhill play and special-teams value. The notable wrinkle: there are no career statistics available yet, so the intrigue is projection rather than production. If your team wants a young, physically built LB with room to grow, Light fits the “development bet” mold—someone whose value will come from coaching, toughness, and how fast he translates that body type into consistent trigger-and-finish football.
