veteran Western Michigan OL with size, pedigree, and reliability
Hofer is a 6'5", 304-pound senior offensive lineman for Western Michigan who brings proven prep pedigree and steady development rather than flashy counting stats, which is exactly what you want in an OL. He was rated a three-star prospect and the No. 27 player in Indiana coming out of Valparaiso, and WMU notes he has been in the program since 2021 after redshirting, giving him valuable continuity and experience in the system. His best fit is as a dependable, physically mature trench player who can help stabilize protection and run-game structure.
