is a player who caught my attention with a solid junior year. Hammonds lines up at middle linebacker where he does a great job defending the run. He reads his keys quickly then explodes downhill to shoot his gap and meet the ball carrier. Once he meets the ball carrier, he does a great job of finishing the tackle and not allowing for extra yards to be made. Hammonds finished this past season with 67 tackles and five tackles for loss in 11 games. He also showed the ability to put pressure on the quarterback, finishing the year with 2.5 sacks. Michael doesn’t currently hold any offers but he should be a player for college coaches to keep an eye on heading into his senior year.

. Hammonds was very impressive during the open field competition, keeping good inside position against the running backs while also showing the ability to close in on them quickly. He also stood out during position drills, showing the ability to read his keys quickly then flow to the ball carrier in a hurry. Hammonds doesn’t currently hold any offers but he should be a player to watch heading into his senior year.

is another 2026 linebacker that caught my attention this past season. Hammonds lines up at outside linebacker where he is very reliable against the run. He does a great job of using his speed to flow to the ball carrier in a hurry and his strength to fight through blocks on his way. Hammonds is a very reliable tackler once he gets to the ball carrier, finishing this past season with 38 tackles and two tackles for loss in 11 games. He also finished the season with one sack and an interception. Hammonds doesn’t currently hold any offers but should be a player to pay close attention to heading into his junior season.
