Another prospect who’s recruitment is starting to heat up as we head into the spring period, Michael picked up his second offer from Georgetown this past week. He adds that to his Monmouth offer his picked up earlier in the winter. A sure to be ranking’s riser DL prospect who is a verified 6’4″ 280lbs and 81″ Wingspan. Michael has big time size and length to go with his quick feet and active hands. Michael is both explosive and powerful, able to win at the LOS multiple ways. Look for many more FCS and some FBS level schools to be offering Michael this spring as well.

Michael Manuba Michael Manuba 6'4" | 280 lbs | DL/OL Mount St. Joseph | 2027 State MD plays with clear aggression in the trenches, firing off the ball and driving blockers backward at the point of attack. He shows the ability to anchor against the run, clog interior lanes, and create disruption with interior push that forces quarterbacks into hurried decisions.

At 6’4″, 280 pounds, Manuba already possesses a strong foundational frame with room to continue developing physically. With continued refinement he projects as a prototypical Division I or D ll interior defensive lineman who can grow into a consistent difference-maker. He recently picked up his first Division I offer from Monmouth University, and his size-strength profile suggests more attention could follow as his development progresses.

Michael makes his rankings debut as a top 200 player and a top 20 DL prospect. He was part of a dominant DL group at MSJ last season, and I expect him to take off and be a key DL player for them in 2026. Able to play IDL or DE in an odd-front, but I do like him best as a 3 tech DT at the next level.

He’s got really nice size for the position, 6’4″ 270lbs and a thick muscled up build. Not a sloppy body kid, Michael looks the part on the hoof. Athletic for the position, Michael has quick active feet and can move. With impressive pop & burst off the snap, Michael can be an interior pass rush DT. He has active hands, know how to rapidly flash his hands, slap away the blockers arms and swim/rip to win reps. Michael also knows how to use his length well, long arming blockers to keep them at a distance, stacking & shedding to be in position to make the tackle on the ball carrier.

Look for Michael to have a strong spring/summer and dominate the camp circuit. He offers positional versatility along the DL, to go along with good strength, athleticism, and a hard working high motor approach.
