Depth-RB with size, special-teams grit, and room to climb
In the 2025 season, Germanuel Tanelus was a low-volume contributor for Central Michigan, logging 1 carry for 2 yards across one listed rushing attempt, but his bigger value has been as a sturdy 5-10, 205-pound back who has stayed in the mix on the travel squad and special teams. He fits as a physical, developmental piece rather than a headline producer right now, with appeal to teams wanting toughness, versatility, and a player who has earned reps through reliability rather than flash.
