Michael Brunson’s ball-hawking flashes give South Carolina State a veteran DB with real playmaking juice
In the 2024 season, Michael Brunson recorded 6 tackles and 2 interceptions for South Carolina State, including a key pick in the Bulldogs’ 24-21 win over NC Central[7][11][13]. At 5-foot-9 and 165 pounds, he’s a compact, active defensive back whose value shows up in instincts, timing, and feel rather than pure size[1][15]. The biggest reason to care: he’s the kind of steady, experienced DB who can flip a game with one read, and that’s a fit for teams that want disciplined coverage and sudden turnover production[7][11].
