Michael Lunz II is a disruptive edge rusher who wins with burst and backfield production
In the 2025 season, Michael Lunz II emerged as a high-impact DE for South Carolina State, earning HBCU National Co-Player of the Week honors after a breakout game with 3.5 sacks and a forced fumble, and later taking Defensive MVP honors at the 2026 HBCU Legacy Bowl.[5][7][14] He finished 2025 with team-high pass-rush disruption, including 9.5 sacks and 19 tackles for loss, and his profile shows a sturdy 6-3, 245-pound frame with enough quickness to stress tackles off the edge.[14][9] The fit is obvious for teams that want an intense, playmaking edge presence who can tilt games, though his size may limit him a bit against bigger pro-style tackles.[14]
