Coach’s Comment: Michael improved significantly from his freshman season to become a major contributor on both sides of the balls. Offensively, he is a north and south runner for us and was our second leading rusher for the 2025 season. Defensively, he can cover sideline to sideline and plays with a motor. He led our team in QB sacks and was second on tackles for loss. We look for him to continue to mature and develop so he can make more impact plays on both sides of the ball.
