Micah Banuelos

What the tape shows

Micah Banuelos demonstrates impressive pad level and consistently maintains contact, driving his feet and playing through the whistle, which speaks to his competitive edge and work ethic. His technique and hand usage are advanced for his age, allowing him to engage defenders effectively and sustain blocks. Banuelos shows notable mobility, with the ability to climb to the second level on screen plays and track down blocks in space, highlighting his athleticism and awareness. However, he occasionally becomes head heavy, which can compromise his balance and make him susceptible to being shocked and shed by defenders. Additionally, there are instances where he is overpowered, indicating a need to further develop his functional strength. As a young interior offensive lineman, Banuelos possesses a strong foundation of skills and the potential to become a significant asset to any program with continued physical development and refinement of his balance and anchor.
