Former Fresno State linebacker with blue-collar downhill tape and a high-recruit pedigree
Michael Lazarus was a highly regarded linebacker prospect out of Berkeley High, ranked as high as the No. 18 middle linebacker nationally, and he brought a thick 6-foot-2, 233-pound frame to Fresno State. In his 2014 freshman season, he played in seven games and recorded seven tackles, showing early game experience but not a large statistical footprint. The appeal here is his prep résumé, physicality, and inside-linebacker build; the caveat is that the available Fresno State profile is dated, so his current football status and recent production are not clearly documented in the accessible sources.
