Tariq Boney brings twitchy, disruptive edge-rush upside to Michigan
Boney is a three-star EDGE commit whose game is built on **twitch, speed-to-power, and quarterback disruption**, with Michigan listing him as the No. 767 overall player and No. 76 defensive end nationally in the 247Sports Composite.[2] In 2025, he was named **Gatorade Player of the Year in Washington, D.C.** and **WCAC Defensive Player of the Year** after posting 48 tackles, 22 tackles for loss, and 13 sacks, which points to a true playmaker rather than just a traits-only prospect.[3] If you want an edge defender who can win with burst and relentless backfield impact, he looks like a strong fit.[1][3]
