Donny Kyre brings veteran, high-motor depth to CMU’s defensive front
Donny Kyre is a seasoned Central Michigan defensive lineman who gives the Chippewas an experienced, physical presence up front; in the 2017 season, he played in nine games and recorded 14 tackles, including 1.5 for loss, while earlier career notes show he added disruption with a forced fumble at Miami in 2016. He fits as a steady rotational DL with toughness, special-teams value, and a blue-collar edge rather than as a flashy sack artist—exactly the kind of reliable, lunch-pail body coaches love when they need effort, leverage, and maturity.
