Ben Roberts brings grown-man size and trench toughness to Michigan State’s interior DL
In the 2025 season, Ben Roberts started four games and played in seven for Michigan State, finishing with 11 tackles while grading 73.3 in Pro Football Focus run-defense impact in one report and 69.9 overall in another—solid evidence he’s a sturdy interior anchor, not just a space-eater.[1][6][8][15] At 6-foot-3 and 335 pounds, he’s valued for gap control, run-stuffing strength, and leadership up front, and multiple reports note he returned for 2026 after a season-ending injury in 2025, which makes his availability and health the biggest swing factor for any team eyeing him as a fit.[1][3][6][8]
