There’s talent littered all over the Kell defense, but Domanik’s consistent force and presence in the middle might be the most impactful. I have been a fan of this kid for going on 2 years now, and believe he has a skill set that translates. Domanik is a true neckroll style LB with high instincts and the ability to thump. He is a strong player who finds creative ways to avoid blockers and is always one of the hats to the football. At a position that requires instincts and physicality, Domanik has both of those. I like the floor here.

Michael Domanik Michael Domanik 6'2" | 225 lbs | LB Kell | 2026 State GA is a physical tone-setter in the middle of the defense. He plays very much like an “old-school” LB, doing his damage mostly from C gap to C gap and aggressively firing downhill to strike ball carriers. He is rocked up at 225 with elite play strength as is. He doesn’t waste any time trying to dance around traffic, and instead runs straight into it and explodes through contact, resulting in violent collisions that can knock ball carriers off their feet. He rallies hard and makes it a mission to get his hat to the ball, something that will help him stay on the field for every down. Domanik is a striker with a high floor. You could plug him into an FBS team right now and he would be a competitive player. He has several FBS offers and will surely add more before his senior season.

A smart, gritty linebacker who can get downhill and deliver a big hit on the ball-carrier, this fast-rising middle linebacker knows how to snuff out the run and shows strong fundamentals when wrapping up to make a secure tackle. Playing on a Kell defense loaded with talent, this 6-foot-2 215-pounder made a big impact in the middle of the defense all season long. He made an impressive 71 tackles, seven TFLs and one sack with another fumble recovery. He’s a dependable defender who recently earned a new recent offer from the Toledo Rockets. Don’t expect that one to be his last.
