Jacob Krause is a big, rising Western Michigan tackle with real frame upside
Jacob Krause is a 6-foot-6, 285-pound redshirt sophomore OL for Western Michigan in 2026, and the main reason to care is simple: he has the size and development runway coaches love at tackle. He’s still in the early growth phase, but that frame upgrade from 254 to 285 pounds suggests the staff is investing in him as a long-term piece. He profiles as a classic MAC developmental lineman — length, room to add power, and starter-level upside if his technique keeps catching up to his body.
