Veteran New Mexico safety Michael Sewell Jr. brings versatility and tough tackling
Michael Sewell Jr. is a seasoned New Mexico defensive back whose value comes from versatility, reliability, and physical run support rather than flashy ball production. At New Mexico, he was described as a junior college transfer who could play any defensive back position, and his 2017 season included 11 tackles in six games with a key touchdown-saving tackle against Tulsa; over his Lobos career, ESPN lists 69 total tackles, 1 sack, 1 forced fumble, and 1 pass defended. He fits best for teams that want a disciplined, multiple-role safety who plays with effort and trustworthiness more than highlight-reel turnovers.[3][1]
