Charlie Mandabach brings prototype size, polish, and multi-sport toughness to Central Michigan
In the 2026 season, Charlie Mandabach enters Central Michigan as a 6-foot-5, 250-pound freshman offensive tackle who was rated a three-star recruit and noted for his toughness, family fit, and strong academics. He played both tackle and tight end at Center Grove, helped anchor a state-sectionals team, and also wrestles, which is a nice clue that he plays with leverage and balance. If you want a developmental lineman with room to bulk up and a solid ceiling, he’s a very sensible fit for a CMU build.
