Will Gerig brings a disruptive edge-rush profile to Western Michigan
Gerig, a junior defensive end for Western Michigan, profiles as a high-motor edge defender with encouraging physical tools: EA Sports lists him at 6'4", 210 pounds with 85 acceleration, 83 finesse moves, 77 power moves, 74 block shedding, and 93 stamina, suggesting a player built to chase plays and sustain effort. Western Michigan notes he switched to defensive end in spring 2025, after playing mainly special teams in 2024, so he is still developing at the position but already looks like a versatile, energetic fit for a team valuing speed, pursuit, and toughness off the edge.[2][6]
