About Micah

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

My gameplay style is aggressive, smart and toughness. I play both sides of the ball and work hard understanding booth mind sets.

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

Focused, driven, high football IQ, good character, tough, strong work ethic and team player.

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

Help the community thru football and wrestling. Volunteer at the grade school and church.

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

I have been selected to be a part of the JHS Leadership committee for football. I pride myself in doing the right thing, being positive and doing my best. I try to encourage younger players to come to morning lift and set up extra offensive lineman training in the mornings during off season. Being a good leader is something very important to me.

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

Yes, I have faced challenges being the underdog. I have the underdog mentality and when people doubt it only pushes me further to succeed and work hard. I have overcome challenges in track, football and wrestling. As a freshman I was placed on Varsity for wrestling. I was 14 going against 17-18 yrs old and had to face the challenge and push myself to be mentally tough.

What type of college are you looking for?

I am open to all colleges.

If you’re looking for a DE who can create a mismatch on the edge then Micah Welch Micah Welch Micah Welch 6'2" | 222 lbs | OL Johnsburg | 2027 State IL is someone you should be looking into. He checked a lot of boxes in my first look at the IL product. Micah has an explosive first step to make OTs nervous about him getting the edge. The speed he can get up to in just a few strides should also have them scared. The balance to be able to counter or rip back inside also stood out from the crowd. It was very noteworthy how Micah could win one rep with speed then the next win with power. The 2027 DE has the upper body strength to manhandle OTs and get them off balance. Once he accomplishes that then he can easily beat the block and get into the backfield. The variety of paths to success for the DE should earn him a lot of next level attention.

Had a great time competing at the Whitewater mega camp. Thanks @CoachRindahl for putting on an awesome camp and grateful for all the conversations with all the coach’s there.@FISTFootball @JHS_FB @Coach_Lesniak @CoachBigPete @EDGYTIM @PrepRedzoneIL @Rivals @Bryan_Ault pic.twitter.com/yEkr2aaCdN

Welch is a 6’2″ 230 pound left guard that brings good mobility and athleticism. Pulls well.  Plays with a mean streak and has raw strength. Pulls well with his athleticism. Gets to the second level.  Solid in pass pro mirroring.
