Diamond in the Rough: Mikel Auge

Mikel Auge is an exceptionally gifted athlete both on the field and in the classroom. Standing at 5’9 and weighing in at just under 200 pounds, Mikel, plays running back for the Montgomery Tigers in Montgomery, Louisiana. The multi-sport talent rushed for over 1600 yards last season on 188 carries with 18 touchdowns. Basically, scoring once every ten touches for the Tigers in 2019. Mikel also added to his production by snagging ten catches out of the backfield for 242 yards and scoring on four of those receptions.

The 2021 prospect currently has a 465 pound squat and 280 pound bench and is looking to improve on those numbers.
