Michael Fasusi Recruit Profile

Fasusi is the nation’s No. 12 overall prospect, No. 3 offensive tackle and No. 5 recruit from Texas in the 2025 cycle according to the On3 Industry Ranking — a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

On3’s scouting and rankings team wrote this about him as a prospect:

“Physical offensive lineman with natural brute strength and developmental upside. Measured in at 6-foot-5, 299 pounds with 9.75-inch hands at the On3 Elite Series prior to his senior season. Has plus length for the position, with arms that measure 34 ⅞ inches. Has a barrel-chested build. Added significant size during the off-season between his sophomore and junior years. Spends most of his time as a left tackle, but has also played some on the right side. A bull in the run game. Latches onto defensive linemen and keeps his feet moving on contact. Gets a considerable push at the point of attack. Plays with an edge and works to finish blocks with authority. Showed encouraging improvement on the field as a junior, adding play strength. A solid overall athlete with upside to continue improving as a pass protector. Can improve lateral agility and balance.

“Has a tendency to lunge and get off balance when facing college-level prospects in the camp setting. Also participates in track and field, sporting a personal best throw of 51-8.75 feet in the shot put as a junior, a strong mark. Ability in the run game gives him a high floor with the positional versatility to play tackle or guard long-term. Ultimate ceiling will be determined by his continued improvement in pass protection, but the upside is there.”
