Micah Vanterpool
Bio
Micah Vanterpool is the Winnipeg Blue Bombers' offensive line utility man, a cost-effective starter who has shuffled from left guard to left tackle and now to right tackle after Jarell Broxton's injury. The front office trusts him more than the alternatives, and he's been the line's most consistent piece during a 4-4 stretch that has featured more chaos than competence.

2026 Season Analysis
Vanterpool's pivot to the right side has been one of the quiet success stories of a miserable July, giving Collaros time while the rest of the unit shuffle-steps around him. Watch whether he can sustain that level against power rushers and whether his run blocking can help the Bombers chew clock, because a defence that just surrendered 377 rushing yards can't be trusted to close out games.
Contract & Salary
Rookie-scale deal around $95,000 — the most cost-effective starter on the line, which is exactly why the team handed him the RT job without blinking.
Role on the Team
He's the starting right tackle on a patchwork offensive line, responsible for keeping a banged-up Zach Collaros upright while the defence tries to figure out how to stop a rookie dual-threat quarterback like Kaidon Salter.
