Big-bodied 2026 edge with top-200 upside and Michigan fit
McHale Blade is a 2026 Michigan signee who arrived as a four-star edge/defensive lineman and a top-200 national recruit, praised for his 6-foot-4/6-foot-5 frame, 245–255-pound build, and high-upside pass-rush profile. He chose Michigan over Notre Dame and USC, which says plenty about how he values development and fit. The obvious appeal is ceiling: he’s the kind of long, physical edge who can add strength and become a nasty disruptor if his get-off and hands keep sharpening. For a team, he looks like a strong developmental fit with real Big Ten trench traits.
