Miami (OH) DB Turned NFL Rookie Standout
Michael Dowell, a 6-1, 221-lb physical force at defensive back for Miami (OH), exploded in 2022 with 97 tackles, 5.0 TFL, 2.0 sacks, and 6 PBUs across 13 games (12 starts), showcasing elite tackling instincts and ball skills; his transfer success after Michigan State roots highlights adaptability and relentless intensity. Now an active Seattle Seahawks rookie LB (practice squad signee post-college), Dowell's size-speed combo and family NFL pedigree (brothers Andrew/David) make him a scheme-versatile gem—perfect for teams needing tough, instinctive coverage defenders with pro upside.
