Michigan State’s walk-on-turned-center with real “earn-it” grit
Terpstra is a 6-foot-4, 313-pound interior lineman who climbed from walk-on status to meaningful snaps at center, appearing in 10 games in 2024 and earning a start in the 2025 finale, where he logged 71 snaps and a 74.8 overall PFF grade. His biggest differentiators are versatility, toughness, and steady development—he’s shown he can survive on special teams, handle emergency center duty, and keep his game clean enough to earn trust. If your team wants a grinder with upside and proven program buy-in, he’s a strong fit.
