Mike Van Hoeven is EMU’s model of reliability up front
A veteran Eastern Michigan offensive lineman, Van Hoeven has long been valued for consistency, durability, and leadership—he started every game at center in 2019 and 2021, and he was described by EMU as one of the MAC’s most reliable linemen. In the 2021 season, he anchored an offense that earned him first-team Academic All-American honors, and his profile as a former Rimington Trophy watch-list center points to strong technique, football IQ, and trust in pass protection and run support. If your team wants a smart, steady interior OL who brings professionalism and polish, he’s a fit.
