veteran CMU linebacker with a sturdy, under-the-radar profile
Omari Colen is listed by Central Michigan as a 6-1, 205-pound linebacker, and the clearest public profile on him points to a veteran defensive piece rather than a splashy headline-grabber[1][2]. His appeal is the classic linebacker package: compact size, experience, and likely special-teams-to-two-deep utility, but there’s limited recent stat-tracking publicly available here, so the bigger takeaway is fit and reliability more than gaudy numbers. If a team wants a steady, physical defender who can learn fast and play downhill with chip-on-the-shoulder energy, Colen is the kind of roster add coaches tend to like[1][2].
