MIKE WEST Cornerback 2005 / 2007 Ocala, FL

Biography

West had a big senior season as a running back at North Marion, being named all-state and the Class 3A Offensive Player of the Year in 2002. He signed with Iowa State out of high school, but enrolled at Dodge City Community College, where he was named a junior college All-American in 2004 playing safety. West chose USC over Kansas, TCU, Memphis and East Carolina. West was moved to outside linebacker in his first spring at Carolina and won the Unselfish Award for the Defense that spring. His best game that year was against Troy when he had six tackles, two sacks and forced a fumble. West was tried at wide receiver in the spring and won the Unselfish Award for the Offense that spring. He had a pair of games (Tennessee, Middle Tennessee State) where he caught touchdown passes while working as a reserve receiver. West was moved back to defense as a senior, at cornerback this time where he backed up Captain Munnerlyn throughout the year. He was one of the team leaders on special teams coverage that year, recording seven special teams tackles. West lives in Reddick, Florida now.
