Veteran CMU lineman Brady Ploucha anchors the Chippewas’ 2026 offensive line
Brady Ploucha is a sturdy, experienced interior offensive lineman for Central Michigan who enters the 2026 season after starting all 12 games in 2024 and logging 35 career appearances with 17 starts. At 6-foot-6 and 315 pounds, he brings the kind of size, continuity, and weekly reliability coaches love in the trenches, and CMU’s 2025 offensive line preview singled him out as the unit’s most experienced returner. He’s not a stat-sheet flashy guy—he’s a tone-setter who helps teams win ugly.
