Christian Mahler returns to Waterloo for his fourth season and is one of the most well-rounded and talented DB’s in the OUA. Mahler has an uncanny ability to see the play develop and react accordingly to keep opposing receivers honest.
His speed paired with his football IQ and athletic abilities make him one of the most exciting players to watch on the defensive side of the ball. Last season, Mahler was third on the Warriors in tackles as well as adding two interceptions and four knock-downs.
“Christian is a versatile and extremely talented defensive back who we will rely on to be the leader of our defence this season.” - Marshall Bingeman
