Across six appearances as a replacement, Van Wyk's output is defined far more by his defensive work than his carrying, averaging close to four tackles per game in limited minutes. His carry numbers are modest and largely functional, suggesting his primary contribution when introduced is to shore up the defensive line rather than generate go-forward ball. His best single-game showings demonstrate he can lift that workload meaningfully when called upon.
