Marc Michel Jr. brings size, physicality, and developmental upside to FIU’s offensive line
Michel is a **young, 6'2", 280-pound interior offensive lineman** from Ridge Community in Florida who entered FIU as a freshman and was listed as a sophomore on the 2026 roster; FIU says he is a **versatile, physical** blocker who posted **23 pancake blocks** as a senior and also contributed on defense with **40 tackles and 2 tackles for loss** in high school. He did **not see game action in 2025**, so he looks more like a developmental prospect than a finished product, but his strength, toughness, and work ethic suggest a player who could fit a program looking for a grinder with growth potential.[8][13][5]
