- College: North Dakota State University (NDSU)
- Awards: First-Team All-MVFC (2025)

2026 Outlook
Werremeyer is the latest product of NDSU's renowned fullback program—the Bison have churned out consistent All-conference fullbacks over the last decade by employing a physically dominant run game. Scouts praise Werremeyer for his well-rounded game with blocking as his main strength, aligning with the traditional lead-blocker profile the Vikings sought with C.J. Ham. Limited receiving reps but flashed capability, projecting as a special teams contributor and backup fullback in the right scheme. The success of prior Bison fullbacks suggests Werremeyer's college production translates to professional play, though his late-round draft status reflects the fullback position's reduced NFL value.
