How’d he get to The Blue™?

Good ol’ transfer portal. And a mighty fine get that was. Grateful he made the good decision on this go-around.

Career Highlights

Just recapping his Boise State career: appeared in 13 games, starting 11; 38 tackles, one fumble recovery, one sack.

He’s also on a bunch of watch lists and is a Preseason All-Pac-12 First Teamer for Athlon and Phil Steele

2026 Prospectus

The defense is going to need Mickey to be lockdown for the year. The defensive corps lost some good leadership last year so Mickey will have to be that as well. The first-team nods from Athlon and Phil Steele are a good forecast for the season. I am excited for him to meet, and exceed, those expectations.

Is he on Twitter?

NIL Exchange:

Didn’t see any.

Completely made up fact

A big fan of Pusheen, Mr. Mickey’s favorite rendition is Donut Pusheen.
