Matt had a good day at the Showcase in Oak Creek. He had an impressive season while battling through injuries. He even was braced up on his hand/wrist during the Showcase. That didn’t stop the junior from making plays. I really enjoyed watching him in the coverage battles. That is where he made his biggest plays of the day. Miklosy looked natural picking up RBs out of the backfield. He could turn and run with them, and broke up passes with well timed contact and swats of his hands. While not the biggest athlete at 5’11” 192 lbs, Matt proved that he can make an impact against good competition. Matt ended the Showcase with a rep in the Best vs Best battles. A rep that he won with a pass breakup.

This season, Matt was at the middle of the Catholic Memorial defense as they made a run to Cam p Randall for the State Championship finals. Matt himself was a First Team All Conference player as well as an All Region player. Definitely a player to have on your radars.

Stats: 18 Tackles, 3 TFLsrnMatt is an intriguing junior prospect on the Catholic Memorial roster. He has grown to 6′ 195 lbs now, and while that is undersized for the LB position there is a lot to like. My favorite part of his game is his range. Matt looks like he is fired out of a cannon when he looks to close on the ball. He accelerates suddenly, and can transfer that speed into power on contact when tackling. That range makes him a strength on pass defense. Miklosy looks natural and comfortable in space. He moves and changes directions easily making zone or man coverage easier for him than the average LB. I believe he can be a difference maker in passing situations at the next level, and as he continues to grow he could be even more. Keep an eye on this young man.
