La Verne (Calif.) Bonita sophomore five-star linebacker Noah Mikhail helps represent one of the better groups of linebackers Southern California has seen in recent years. 

Mikhail, who unofficially visited Washington last weekend, has scholarship offers form the likes of USC, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Arkansas and Oregon. Mikhail is currently rated as the nation's No. 3 linebacker in the class of 2025 and No. 30 overall prospect according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings. 

At 6-foot-3, 210-pounds, Mikhail has 45 tackles, five for losses, one sack and two forced fumbles on defense. Playing both tailback and wide receiver on offense, Mikhail has 280-yards receiving on 18 catches for three scores. He has 180-yards rushing on 9.5 yards a carry. 

In Friday's 28-27 win over Los Osos, Mikhail had a long reception to set up his game winning touchdown.

Back in May, 247Sports National Recruiting Analyst Greg Biggins wrote the following about Mikhail. 

"Mikhail has a nice all around game and shows the ability to play multiple positions at the next level. He has a linebacker frame and that’s where his upside is probably the highest but but play safety, wide receiver running back at the HS level. He’s an impact player on both sides of the ball and plays with a non-stop motor and has a nice edge in his game. At 6-3, 205 pounds, he already has a college body right now and isn’t even close to filling out or peaking physically. He runs well, shows natural football instincts and brings a nice physical element to the field. He’s already a national recruit and with his physical tools and off the field work ethic, is an easy player to bet on being an immediate impact player in college."
