is the heart of a Southmoreland team that is in the midst of a historic season. He is the type of player who is best described simply as a football player because no single position really captures how impactful he is. Defensively he lines up all over the front, capable of playing with his hand down as a defensive end or standing up as an outside linebacker. No matter where he is he brings the same motor and explosiveness. He wins with quickness off the edge, strength at the point of attack, and a nonstop effort that wears down linemen. He is constantly in opposing backfields and his pursuit speed allows him to chase plays down from the backside.
On offense Mickens is just as much of a headache for opponents. He fits into the grey area between athletic tight end and oversized wideout, with enough juice to line up at running back when needed. He has strong hands and body control to win in contested catch situations, and once the ball is secured he runs with a physical style that makes him difficult to bring down. Southmoreland has made a clear point of finding ways to get him the football because he is a game-changer whenever it touches his hands. His two-way value is one of the biggest reasons his team is making noise this fall.
