Charles brought a physical and active presence to the linebacker group throughout camp, competing with good energy from start to finish. In drills, he moved downhill with purpose and showed a willingness to attack plays rather than sitting back and waiting for things to develop.

During competitive periods, Charles stayed involved around the football and showed toughness when working through contact in the middle of the field. He played with a solid motor and consistently worked to finish reps, which helped him stay noticeable throughout the day.

Charles had a promising early showing at the Midwestern State camp, standing out as a younger linebacker competing against older and more physically developed players. He moved well during testing and agility work, showing solid change-of-direction ability for his age group. In linebacker drills, he displayed good natural instincts when reading run fits, often reacting quickly once he diagnosed the play. In controlled one-on-one reps, he competed with confidence and wasn’t overwhelmed by the speed or physicality of the older competition, holding his own in space and staying engaged through each rep. He also showed a willingness to absorb coaching, making small but noticeable adjustments as the day progressed. A developing 2028 prospect with early traits that suggest upside, especially as he continues to grow into his frame and experience.
