Mercer safety Mike Polke brings two-way production and playmaking pop
Mike Polke enters Mercer as a versatile defensive back who already showed real impact on both sides of the ball in high school: Mercer lists him with 42 tackles, 39 catches for 475 yards and 2 receiving touchdowns, plus 44 rushing yards and 1 rushing score in his prep career. He also has the kind of big-play profile coaches like—interceptions, a touchdown catch, and a 92-yard kickoff return highlight his burst and game-changing ability. At 6-0, 190, he looks like a physical, competitive fit for a safety role with value on special teams and in multiple packages.[7][1][6]
