Coaches Comments: As a returning all-state player, we believe Michael is one of the best tight ends in the state. He will be a big part of what we do offensively after leading our team in receiving last season. Defensively his move to defensive end made him a better defender and helped our defense take the next step. His future is bright having already received several Division 1 scholarship offers.
