Coach Dan Hunt on Charles: "Charles is the definition of how to play the game. If you watch him, he's made so many plays for us that are just strictly hustle plays – doing your job as hard as you can, never giving up on a play. He made two or three of those last year. He had a play this year where he chased down the blocked PAT against Holy Cross. Really just a person who each year he was here got better. One of the most coachable individuals I've ever seen. One of the kids who just always does the right thing off the field. He's someone who is a great example of how to be a student-athlete."
