A developmental red-zone tight end with upside at Eastern Michigan
Vanderbush enters 2026 as a redshirt-freshman tight end at Eastern Michigan, listed at 6'4" and 192 pounds, with only one game of college action so far, so his current value is more about projection than production.[1][4][9] His appeal is length, upside, and multi-sport athletic background from Plainfield, where he was active enough to contribute on both offense and defense and was recognized as a National Football Foundation Scholar Athlete, suggesting a coachable, high-character fit for a program willing to develop him.[5][6]
