Justin Michaelis is a massive, late-blooming Rice offensive lineman with real upside
In the 2025 season, Justin Michaelis arrived at Rice as a 6-foot-4, 307- to 321-pound offensive lineman and a late-blooming three-year high school starter who earned Region 10 Offensive Line MVP honors as a senior. Rice listed him as a redshirt freshman after he appeared in five games in his first college season to preserve eligibility, and his background suggests toughness, versatility, and quick development rather than a polished veteran profile. He looks like a fit for a program that values size, growth, and edge—especially if you want a lineman with a strong developmental ceiling and a relentless climb.
