Mount Michael had a breakout campaign in 2025 as they returned to the playoffs, and will look to repeat with key players like senior Barrett Hegemann Barrett Hegemann 6'4" | 215 lbs | DL Mount Michael Benedictine | 2027 State NE in the fold. As a junior, Barrett racked up 33 tackles, seven TFLs, 3.5 sacks, and a fumble recovery. Hegemann is a very interesting player because I can see him playing either defensive end or an EDGE/OLB hybrid depending on how he continues to develop physically. He has a very lengthy frame at 6’4″ and 215 pounds, which helps him extend and make initial contact before using his hands to effectively swipe away at opponents. Hegemann shows good bend when rounding the corner while maintaining proper pad level throughout the rep. Strong, sturdy base that helps him anchor down to keep from losing ground when engaged with blockers— and the awareness to keep his eyes looking for the ball. Good lateral quickness with the speed to sharply close on the ball. He uses good wrap-up technique when going for a tackle and can also deliver a big hit when given the chance. Definitely looking forward to seeing more of Barrett this fall!
