5’11 160lbs 4-star CB out of Houston TX, goes to 4A school Kinkaid

Had a very good Junior season with 1,530 all-purpose yards:

- 1,118yds & 9TD’s rushing
- 234yds & 1TD on Kickoff returns
- 101yds receiving
- 18tks 5PBU’s & 1INT on Defense

He’s a very raw prospect, plays mostly RB/WR/KR, but has high caliber athletic ability & projects to be a CB on the next level.
Is a track athlete & pure speedster;

His best track times: 100M
- 10.41 (2022)
- 10.46 (2021)
- 10.62 (2021)
- 10.74 (2020)
- 10.80 (2020)

200M
- 21.40 (2022)
- 21.54 (2021)

400M
- 50.50 (2021)

Also had a great 23.6 in the long jump.

What that all translates to is explosiveness on football field. Despite being raw at CB he did display some coverage skills, @2:05 on his tape, showed very good natural speed turn ability & eye discipline not falling for the double move & had good recovery flipping his hips to get back on the inside hip pocket of the WR, get his head around & go up to get the INT.

He’s got ball skills given his offensive background & elite 4.3/4.4 speed, he’s a kid that you take, get’em in the S&C program, stash him away for a season & half of development, then by the time he’s a Red FR/Soph you have an elite blazer at CB.

His older brother is 2022 WR Dillon Bell that signed with UGA back in Feb, however, UGA is not recruiting Micah as of right now because they have other prospects at CB they like more & they have limited room giving how crowed their recruiting classes always are.

Currently Notre Dame, Tennessee & Texas are after him the hardest. I’m only posting him because if he’s not gonna go to UGA with his brother or stay at home in TX, we might as well throw our hat in the ring too, especially considering how our CB board is right now.

Holds offers from Notre Dame, Texas, LSU, Baylor, Florida, Tennessee, Arkansas, Michigan, Mich ST, Ole Miss, Miss ST, Stanford, TCU, Wisconsin, Kentucky, Louisville, Minnesota, Kansas, Houston, SMU, Vandy & Duke

He’s basically a Kalon Barnes clone, same size, similar background & skill set.

Barnes was a WR in HS, but he had elite track speed running a 10.22 in the 100m.

It took him about 2 years to develop fully, but once he did he was easily the fastest CB in the nation.
 
Don’t want…he drove Dutch crazy, killed Miss Grimshaw, and ratted out on the gang to the Pinkertons. And don’t get me started on that mess he made in Strawberry, disgraceful. We don’t wanna become Convict U like the Turds at UF. Hard pass (IYKYK)

How would we compare him to PBuch?

That’s too lofty & it’s too early to make that parallel.

The similarities are both were fast track guys who played on Offense in HS, but that’s it at this stage.

There’s several others that fit that description & are much safer to make the comparison to.

See Kalon Barnes at Baylor.

Freeman will pull better classes than Kelly that’s for sure. But he needs to up the offensive speed to win big

Florida got the better football players but Texas got the speed man, it feels like there's 100 kids in Texas each year running sub-11 100s

Pierre Goree from Duncanville ran a 10.08, he’s a 3-star Safety that signed with SMU in the 2022 class, he played RB at Duncanville though.

Che Nwabuko from Manor TX, ran a 10.17 & he’s a 3/4-star RB that signed with Pitt in the 22 class.

Brennen Thompson from Spearman, ran a 10.22, he’s a 4-star WR that signed with Texas in the 22 class.

Jelani Watkins from Klein Forest (Houston) ran a 10.21, he’s a 4-star WR in the 2024 class.

There’s about two-dozen more all with sub 10.5 100’s let alone sub 11.

Texas without doubt has the highest collection of fastest players in the country playing Football & running track.

Yeah but Kelly is a really good play caller. Kelly is a complete *** but he can run an offense. Freeman will have to delegate that responsibility 100% so a lot of ND’s success will depend on who they have at OC and QB.

Didn’t Kelly not call plays last season?
