James Reinbold brings veteran edge, Ivy-League production, and academic-all-star polish to CMU's DL room
In the 2025 season at Cornell, James Reinbold posted 45 tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss, and 4.5 sacks, then arrived at Central Michigan as a fifth-year transfer with proven pass-rush juice and a high football IQ. He stands out for his length, effort, and versatility, plus a rare résumé mix: second-team All-Ivy, Academic All-American, and Campbell Trophy semifinalist. If you want a disruptive, coachable defensive lineman who adds maturity and production, he’s a strong fit; if you’re chasing pure upside, the question is whether his ceiling still has another gear.
