Former Spartan gets NFL start

Michigan State football fans know Ben VanSumeren as a linebacker during his time in East Lansing. Now, forging an NFL career for himself, VanSumeren has found himself a role in the leeague.

Going undrafted in the 2023 NFL Draft, VanSumeren landed a role with the Philadelphia Eagles. Starting his career mainly on special teams, VanSumeren recorded 16 tackles in nine games for the Eagles in 2023.

Now, the former Spartan has made the switch to the offensive side of the ball, where he will now play as a fullback. In the Eagles game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, VanSumeren got the start.
