High-Impact DB with Elite Forced-Fumble Intensity at Northern Arizona
Michael Beresford, a 5'10", 170-lb junior DB for the Northern Arizona Lumberjacks, stands out not for size but for explosive intensity and defensive versatility, having started as a freshman cornerback and seamlessly transitioning to nickelback. In the 2024 season, he recorded 30 tackles, 2 interceptions, and a team-leading 2 forced fumbles, while his 2025 stats show 38 tackles, 3 interceptions, and 2 forced fumbles, proving consistent elite value. Hailing from Long Beach, CA, Beresford’s differentiator is his relentless pursuit and ball-hawking instincts—traits that make him a perfect fit for teams needing a high-energy, turnover-forcing DB who thrives in coverage and run support despite his compact frame.
