Michael Floyd is an amazing wide receiver coming out of Cretin-Derham High School in St. Paul, Minnesota. He has now committed to Notre Dame to play wide receiver under Charlie Weis. As you can see, he wears number 80, and here's a little more info on him.
Height: 6-3
Weight: 199
40 time: 4.55 seconds
GPA: 3.2
Stars: Rivals-**** Scout-*****
Those facts don't show how good he is. It is very surprising that he is not a five star wide receiver on Rivals. He has been hurt this year, but by looking at his stats, you couldn't tell. His season has solidified him as a bonafide stud. Here are his stats.
Rushing: 374 rushing yards, 4 touchdowns
Receiving: 39 receptions, 845 yards, 11 touchdowns
Returning: 1 punt return, 11 yards
His big play ability is amazing. He is averaging around 30 yards per carry, and he has scored on a little more than a fourth of his catches. His big play ability is what Notre Dame will need the most.
Floyd has had big games, but this is by far his best.
versus White Bear Lake: 9 catches, 194 yards, 3 receiving touchdowns; 6 rushing yards
Cretin-Derham ended up winning that game 55-17. Floyd is the leader for this powerhouse team. They will be playing in the state playoffs this coming weekend. Floyd is coming into Notre Dame as the star recruit. He is one of four five star recruits coming to Notre Dame this season. Notre Dame is banking on Floyd to be a star receiver for all four years at Notre Dame. Even though the Irish are not losing a wide receiver this season, he is projected to get great playing time and may even be a starter. If he can learn the system, he may become the biggest threat on the offense.
His strengths are his hands, playmaking ability, and his size. His only weakness is his route running, but that is a very fixable problem. Next year, he will be a key part of the Irish offense.
