Howard’s Charlie Richards brings size and upside to the Bison DL
Charlie Richards is a young Howard defensive lineman with prototype build at 6-3 and 225 pounds, and roster listings identify him as a sophomore or freshman depending on the source, which suggests he is still early in his college career[1][2][13]. The key appeal is his raw frame and power potential rather than proven production — a classic developmental DL who could fit well in a program that values length, upside, and coaching growth. Public team pages show no meaningful stat line yet, so the “why care” is simple: he looks like a projectable trench piece with room to climb.
