Mikey Bratus Mikey Bratus 5'10" | 160 lbs | WR Bridgewater-Raritan | 2026 State NJ exemplifies the term underrated but productive. At 5’10 160 pounds, Mikey is a fast and shifty wide receiver who’s adept at getting open and finding holes in the zone. He’s a problem after the catch, being able to use his elusiveness and speed in the open field. Lastly, what stands out is his ability to be an open target for the quarterback when the play breaks down; he has soft hands and can catch in traffic.
Mikey is one of the more complete receivers in the state, and he possesses legit D1 talent to be a consistent contributor at the next level.

Unsure whether the clips I watched were of JV or freshman footage, one thing is transparent: Mikey Bratus Mikey Bratus 5'10" | 160 lbs | WR Bridgewater-Raritan | 2026 State NJ is a versatile chess piece. I witnessed Bratus line up at quarterback, receiver, and safety. Bratus’ ball skills appear to be there, as he can out-jump defenders and high points the ball with his hands and authority. With the rock in his hands the young signal caller does a good job following his blockers and rushing inside-out. Like a locomotive, Bratus gains more speed as he climbs into each level the defense. When in the final level of the defense, Bratus is unabashed to lower the shoulder and lay the boom on a would-be tackler. What perhaps may be something overlooked, as a quarterback he appears to carry out the majority of his fakes at full-speed. He looks extraordinarily fast against slower competition. Bratus may be a safety, however he typically appears to play at linebacker depth. He is ruthlessly aggressive in pursuit when filling the alley. In coverage we see Bratus see pass patterns relatively clearly, aggressively playing driving on the ball to break the play up from over the receiver’s back. An area I would stress for Bratus is to be judicious when he uses his stiff arm. He hits a nice one up the middle; however, that may not be the best part of the defense to execute that move.
