Rusty VanWetzinga IV brings fullback toughness and special-teams value to Central Michigan
In the 2025 season, VanWetzinga’s value is less about box-score volume and more about role flexibility: Central Michigan lists him as a fullback/TE, and he logged action in all 13 games after transferring from Iowa, where he also earned game experience as a physical, blocking-focused piece.[12] His differentiators are size, versatility, and proven willingness to do the dirty work—traits that fit teams looking for a reliable in-line/lead-blocking presence rather than a pass-catching stat producer.[12][2] If your team needs toughness, depth, and special-teams utility, he is a sensible fit.[12][3]
