2016 FOOTBALL RECRUITING ISSUE looks like a prototypical run blocker; he can really move people off the ball. Michael comes from a great family and is going to have a great career here at Michigan." • Cass Tech Head Coach Thomas Wilcher: "He's very quick and agile for such a large young man. He was born a big kid, and he knows how to move that weight. On top of that, he's very strong. He's got some super-human strength. ... He's not an overweight kid, he's just a big kid — big thighs, big legs, big hips, big broad shoulders. He's one massive young man." • Rivals.com Midwest Recruiting Analyst Josh Helmholdt: "Obviously at his size he is a giant young man, but he's very athletic at that size. His size gives him an immediate strength ad- vantage over almost every defensive lineman he goes against. He's defi- nitely an interior lineman, and in that role, as long as he keeps the action is in front of him, he'll be very difficult for a defensive lineman to get around. He is one of those guards defensive linemen hate to see because he is such a difficult matchup for them." • Tom Lemming Of Prep Football Report: "He's another dominator. He was a defensive tackle a couple years ago, and I thought an outstanding run-stuffing defensive guy. He's well- coached — Thomas Wilcher does the best job in that area of training kids, getting them ready for college. Mi- chael was ready. He could be a nose tackle or he could be an outstanding offensive guard. He's a big catch for them, and I thought one of the better offensive linemen in the Midwest."
