Expert Analysis
Nate Wahl | Prep Redzone Scout
Micah was a safety on a mission for Omaha Westside on Thursday night in their 42-10 over Creighton Prep. He’s one of the harder hitting 2028 safeties that has posted their tape thus far and his ability to get in prime position away from the football is what stood out the most from me in his Week 1 showing. His rangy strides provided a ton of downhill tackles for the Warriors defense on Thursday night as there’s a reason why he’s our DB2 in the Nebraska 2028 class.

brought a familiar name back to the Phelps Stadium speakers after a breakout year for the Westside Warriors. Micah got on the field right away, starting from game one and ending the year with 35 tackles and three TFLs. The biggest thing that has stood out from watching Micah is the level of physicality he plays with at the cornerback position. He has shown he is strong enough to jam receivers, has the ball skills to challenge at the catch point, and will fight off perimeter blocks to make stops in the run game. Micah has a solid frame at 6’1″ and 190 pounds with good length and can use every bit of it to deliver a big hit. Good instincts in coverage with the smooth change of direction to stay with receivers throughout their route. He can track the ball very well and can play through the receiver’s hands to ensure the breakup, resulting in 10 PBUs on the year. High football IQ. Tons of upside here… should see college attention sooner rather than later.
