Charlie Diedrich is a young, physical linebacker with early-game production and local-state upside
In the 2026 season, Nicholls freshman linebacker Charlie Diedrich has already logged 2 tackles in the opener against MVSU and added 1 more at Kansas State, showing immediate role-player value despite the lopsided matchup. The Louisiana native brings a sturdy frame at roughly 6-1, 225 and arrived with strong prep credentials, including district Defensive MVP honors and first-team all-state recognition in 2024. The draw here is upside: a local product with physicality, quick buy-in, and the kind of toughness that can earn trust fast if the tackling keeps climbing.
