Mike Hull



FYI, the bleached hair is a result of qualifying for the state tournament in wrestling. This is a tradition at Canon Mac that extends to all age groups. If the student wins the state championship, the father has to bleach his hair as well.

IMO Hull, a sophmore, was the most impressive player on the field last Friday night in a game that included senior D1 prospects Andrew Sweat, Mike Yancich, Brandon Weaver (OU recruit), Jeravin Matthews (NW verbal), and Zane Zebraskey (Akron, Kent St. recruit). Looks like this one will be Penn State's to lose, but colleges from all across the country will be in Canonsburg to see Hull play.

WASHINGTON SUNDAY: Big Macs sophomore wants more

Hull, a sophomore linebacker and running back at Canon-McMillan, already seems well on his way to playing football in college. He was a first-team All-Great Southern Conference selection as a freshman, no small feat considering state champion Upper St. Clair and powerful McKeesport were in the conference, and that his team went winless in five conference games.

...there is no way there is a better sophomore in the WPIAL than Mike Hull. He's the area's next superstar...

Without regard to recruiting services, scouting combines or other publications, it's time to unveil the top 10 high school football players in 2007 from the Washington-Greene region:1. Andrew Sweat, Sr., Trinity, LB/FB -The best defensive player I've seen in my 10 years of covering high school football. 2. Mike Yancich, Sr., Trinity, LB/RB - A freakish, one-of-a-kind athlete. No wonder Trinity coach Ed Dalton calls him "Tarzan." 3. Mike Hull, So., Canon-McMillan, LB/RB - The next great linebacker in Washington County. Insiders say he's a lock to play at Penn State.

I live in PA, this kid is definitely special. And not only that, but he has a blue collar work ethic and is the type of kid any coach would want on his team. I think this kid will be very hard to sway from Penn State, regardless of whether Joe is still at Penn State or not... [I know thats what people are thinking, since Mike is only a sophomore]

What was the yardage record before that?

Scout.com: Stars Shine Bright in Pittsburgh

Class of 2010 prospect Mike Hull (Canonsburg/Pa./Canon McMillan) is going to be a very good player. I’d go as far as saying I can see a Sean Lee (Penn State) type player. He is a hardnosed kid who gets after it.

Well at least we have something to look forward to in next year's recruiting class - an almost given lock to PSU.

Canon-McMillan FB Hull welcomes contact - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review

Canon-McMillan fullback/linebacker Mike Hull isn't hard to find after a bruising Quad-A game. Just look for a walking pile of ice bags.

"There's ice everywhere," he said. "I walk out of the locker room with ice taped all down my arms and legs with elastic bandages and plastic wrap. My whole body is iced."

Due to the high-impact nature of both positions, the 6-foot-1, 215-pound Hull can collide with opponents up to 40 times a game.

"After a game, I'm pretty beat up," he said. "My hands are swollen and my legs are beat, so I try to rest over the weekend. You get over it. You have fun."

Another reason Hull runs into so much traffic is that he's good at both jobs. He made 109 tackles as an inside linebacker two seasons ago and 117 as an outside linebacker and safety last season.

After earning Quad South first-team honors as a freshman linebacker, Hull joined the first team again last season as a sophomore running back. He led all WPIAL Quad-A rushers last season with 1,300 yards and added 14 touchdowns.
