Michael Mercep '19 Recruiting Profile

I am a 6’2” defensive end from Lake Oswego, Oregon. First Team All State,  Defensive lineman of the year for my conference. I am a multi-sport athlete however football is my passion. I have played on the varsity defensive line since my Sophomore year playing at nose guard and defensive end.  I was asked to play these positions because my coaches felt my quick hands, speed,  toughness, and strength would make an impact.  I am open to switching to outside linebacker, my more natural position, or whatever position I am needed in college.  I am not only proud of my accomplishments on the field but in the class room as well. I finished my Junior year with a 3.875% and have a 3.4% cumulative GPA and 1200 SAT.  I am looking for a school where I can pursue a degree in business while continuing to play the sport I love and make a positive impact to the team both on and off the field.
