Central Michigan’s 6-5, 235-pound position-changer brings versatility and a high motor
VanTimmeren is a senior at Central Michigan who has switched from tight end to defensive line for the 2026 season, giving the Chippewas a big-bodied, multi-sport-style football athlete with uncommon positional flexibility. In his Central Michigan career, he has appeared in 28 games, caught five passes for 31 yards, and made one tackle, while his 2025 usage showed he can still contribute when called upon. What makes him intriguing is the blend of frame, experience, and blue-collar adaptability—he’s the kind of player who can help a roster in more than one room and should fit a team that values toughness, development, and versatility.
