Branstetter had a productive season running the football for Metcalfe County High School. In 13 games, Charles ran for 665 rushing yards and scored 11 touchdowns (6.7 yards per carry). Charles is one of the strongest runners in his state 2A class as his strength is purely unmatched in his position. At 6’2 & 225lbs, his athletic frame is much higher than most other backs, but his speed nearly matches those of greater runners in Kentucky. This sets him apart from most running backs since he can easily bulldoze his way through multiple defenders and be able to take lots of hits before getting brought down. It is rare to see Charles get brought down by a single player, let alone even two players. It is exciting to watch Branstetter making defenders look weak by not being able to smoothly tackle him down. I believe he has all the athletic & physical traits necessary to develop into a top-tier running back in the state. The future is bright for the young man. However, he has not received any collegiate interest from any schools. Don’t sleep on Charles Branstetter.
