Scouting Analysis: Michael Price — OT, Class of 2026 (Huntsville High School, AL) – B.L33

Michael Price is a 6’5”, 280-pound offensive tackle with the frame and tools to thrive at the highest levels of college football. He already checks the box physically — with a prototypical build — and as he continues to develop, adding 25 to 35 pounds over the next couple of years, he could comfortably play in the 305–315 range, right where elite Power 5 tackles live.

What makes Price such a promising prospect is his balance and consistency in both run blocking and pass protection. He’s technically sound and rarely overextends. In the run game, he excels in the drive phase — firing off low and finishing blocks with leg drive and purpose. He does have a tendency to “catch” defenders early in reps rather than initiating contact, but once engaged, he powers through and creates real displacement. That hesitation is something that can be cleaned up with coaching — and the fact that he still generates consistent movement even with it speaks volumes about his strength and leverage.

In pass protection, he’s calm and controlled. His footwork is solid, and he’s patient with his hands. He may need time to adjust to the speed and complexity of college defenses, especially if he ends up at a blue-blood program stacked with high-end talent. But at a mid-tier or developmental program, Price could be ready to contribute sooner than later.

Price was unranked and flying completely under the radar when first discovered — no offers, no buzz. That’s changed now, and deservedly so. He’s a high-floor, high-upside tackle prospect with the work ethic and physical tools to become a multi-year starter and potentially more.

There’s nothing flashy about Michael Price — just clean tape, a big frame, and steady development. And that’s exactly what you want in a long-term offensive line prospect.
