Big, Versatile Michigan DB with Championship-Grade Experience

A 6-4, 208-pound graduate DB from Michigan, Makari Paige brings rare length, veteran savvy, and position versatility to the secondary. In the 2024 season, he finished with 45 tackles, 4 pass breakups, and 2 interceptions, and across his Michigan career he posted 135 tackles and 3 picks while helping the Wolverines win the 2023 national title. His biggest selling points are range, size at the catch point, and the ability to rotate between deep safety, box, and slot roles. He’s a steady, experienced fit for teams valuing versatility over flash.
