Collin Stare brings proven high-school production and disruptive edge to Central Michigan’s defensive line
Stare arrives at Central Michigan as a physically mature 6-foot-2, 250-pound defensive lineman who produced big-time disruption at Mechanicsburg, including 60 tackles, 26 tackles for loss, 8.5 sacks and five forced fumbles as a senior in 2025, plus 63 tackles, 20.5 TFL and eight sacks as a junior in 2024.[1] He is a high-motor, production-backed prospect with rare two-way toughness, having also played offensive guard, and his recruiting profile was strong enough to earn Class 5A Writers First Team and Coaches Second Team All-State honors and a 54 rating on Rivals/On3.[1][4][6] For a team, that profile suggests a dependable interior disruptor with proven backfield impact and the kind of physicality that translates quickly if he keeps developing his leverage and pass-rush polish.[1][2]
