Expert Analysis
Rob Howe | Prep Redzone Scout
Football is a big person’s game. Michels is not a big person. Sometimes, the mold is broken. Michels consistently stands out as one of the best players on the field despite is diminutive stature. He maximizes his physical limitations relative to the sport by packing power and oozing toughness. While Michels holds up well as a defender in Iowa Class A football, that would be a tougher path on the next level. I think Michels would be best utilized as a running back and a returner. He provided evidence for the latter assignment with a 78-yard kick return touchdown in the state championship game. As a back, Michels does well of getting lost in the traffic, picking his way through it with good vision, sharp cuts and a burst. He does well at following blocks and finishing runs, and is a threat as a receiver.
