Washington State DL Michael Van Beek: Depth Piece With Real Game Experience
Michael Van Beek is a Washington State defensive lineman who has shown up in limited action, appearing in one game in each of the 2019 and 2020 seasons and making his collegiate debut on defense against Colorado. At 6'2" and around 277–285 pounds, he has the frame to hold up inside and offers developmental depth more than headline stats, which are still empty in the record. For a team, the appeal is a workable trench body with game reps already in the bank; the question is whether he can turn that size into consistent disruption and snap-to-snap impact.
