Tristan Michaud is the Coyotes’ 6-foot-6 mismatch maker with untapped upside
In the 2024 season, Tristan Michaud played in all 14 games for South Dakota, catching 2 passes for 16 yards, and he previously showed a slightly larger role in 2023 with 7 catches for 80 yards, including a team-high 53-yard outing against Murray State. His biggest differentiator is size: at 6-foot-6, he gives South Dakota a long-bodied boundary target and red-zone puzzle piece, even if the production hasn’t fully caught up yet. The broader read from recruiting profiles is clear—he was a three-star prospect with Power Four pedigree from Iowa State, so this is still a bet on traits, growth, and matchup value.
