Boise State DT Michael Atkinson: disruptive, rugged, and built to wreck run games
Michael Atkinson brings classic interior-line grit for Boise State: at 6-0 and around 311-320 pounds, he’s a stout defensive tackle with proven production, including 33 tackles, 1.5 sacks, and a forced fumble in the 2026 season. He also has a résumé of big-moment impact—most memorably as a Boise State nose tackle who once scored a defensive touchdown and played through an ankle issue earlier in his career. If a team wants a low-drama, high-effort interior anchor who can occupy blockers and flash occasional playmaking, he’s a fit.
