Charles Amankwaa brings playmaking DB production and ball skills to Akron’s secondary
Amankwaa is a compact, active defensive back who stood out at Akron for creating turnovers and disrupting throws, leading the Zips in interceptions (3), pass breakups (9), and forced fumbles (1) in the season referenced by Akron athletics. He’s the kind of defender who fits a defense that values instincts, quick reactions, and toughness near the ball, not just raw size. Reports and roster notes also show he’s been trusted in meaningful game action, which matters for a team looking for a reliable, competitive secondary piece rather than a developmental project.
