Cairo Rhodes is a big-bodied, experienced Central Michigan linebacker with special-teams value
Rhodes brings **size, experience, and reliability** at linebacker, checking in at 6-foot-2 and 230 pounds and having logged action across multiple seasons and programs. In 2025 at Central Michigan, he recorded **3 total tackles** while appearing in 11 of 13 games and contributing extensively on special teams, which suggests a role player who can help a defense with physicality and depth rather than headline production. His earlier career also included an interception as a freshman, hinting at some playmaking feel in space. He looks like a practical fit for teams needing a sturdy, assignment-safe linebacker with proven team utility rather than a splash-stat star.[1][2]
