Big-frame Michigan State freshman with developmental upside
Cole Bertke enters Michigan State as a 6-foot-5, 285-pound freshman offensive lineman from East Grand Rapids, and the early read is classic developmental tackle material: size, length, and local-program pedigree. Michigan State lists him as a former first-team all-conference player who also started on both lines in high school, while current roster/depth-chart listings show him as a true freshman still working into the picture. The care factor? He looks like a long-term Big Ten body, especially if his strength and technique catch up to the frame.
