"Charles Brantley went to Miami for a fresh start, barely played, and came back to East Lansing for a sixth year to finish a career that once looked like it would end sooner."
Charles Brantley is a 6-0, 170-pound cornerback from Sarasota, Florida who is back at Michigan State for a sixth college season after spending 2021 through 2024 with the Spartans and 2025 at Miami. He has appeared in 34 career games with more than 100 total tackles, but the Miami year produced almost nothing statistically and functioned as a lost season rather than a springboard.
What he does well
- 01Zone anticipation — He reads the quarterback's eyes from off coverage and drives on the throw early, which is where every one of his college turnovers came from.
- 02Boundary height — At an even six feet he has the frame teams look for outside, and he can run with vertical routes without grabbing at the top.
