About Michael
Expert Analysis
Cole Laing | Prep Redzone Scout
Michael is one of my favorite players to watch, and he has made a jump in our rankings. Anyone looking for a Defensive Tackle/Nose Guard. Elite run defense and very good pass rush, Michael is one of the top players in the state. I have already featured a full-season report on his 2024 season that you can read below:
Good height and elite size. Very good athleticism for his size displaying elite balance, very good acceleration, lateral movement, bend, foot quickness, hand quickness, good hip fluidity, change of direction, and solid foot speed. Very good up-field burst utilizing his very good foot quickness and bend to gain depth with good pad level. Very good use of hands to engage offensive linemen with his elite play strength with the ability to enforce his will against anyone. Elite run defense, forcing a double team against him that he can split with his strength and use of hands, with very good lateral movement when disengaging blocks to defend his run gap. Very good power pass rush, with very good leg drive to push the depth of the pocket and put offensive linemen off balance, disallowing QBs to step up in the pocket. He is a great competitor who pursues though the whistle. Michael is an FBS prospect who has picked up a Marshall offer already and will see many more. In my mind, he can play in the Power 4.
