Former MSU football LB Ben VanSumeren cut by Buffalo Bills
A former Spartans linebacker turned fullback has been waived by his new team in the NFL
Ben VanSumeren, a former Michigan State Spartans linebacker who later transitioned to fullback, has been waived by the Buffalo Bills, failing to make their initial 53-man roster out of training camp. The linebacker, signed by the Bills during the offseason, was anticipated to contribute to their roster during the upcoming season.
VanSumeren began his NFL career as a linebacker, participating in 20 games over his first two seasons with the Eagles, contributing to their Super Bowl victory in 2025. However, he shifted to offense as a fullback in the following year. Unfortunately, his season concluded prematurely on the opening kickoff of the 2025 NFL season, marking his final appearance with the Eagles due to a season-ending injury.
VanSumeren's Spartan career spanned two seasons from 2021 to 2022, during which he played in 24 games. He started his professional football journey with Michigan before transferring to Michigan State at the beginning of the 2021 season.
