Chris Mangiero was a durable, award-winning anchor at center for Indiana
In the 2006 season, Chris Mangiero was a veteran Indiana center who started 29 games across his Hoosier career, earned the Howard Brown Award, and was trusted enough to open 11 games at center in 2005 before shifting to right guard late in 2006[2]. His biggest differentiators were toughness, consistency, and availability after bouncing back from a broken foot that ended his 2004 season early; that kind of line-quiet, coach-trusted reliability is exactly why teams value him[1][2].
