Personal Life (via On3)

“Vigor coach Markus Cook remembers the first time he met Micah DeBose because it made a major impression. “When I met him he was called the ‘baby’ by his mom,” Cook told the Lagniappe. “He got out of the car, and I saw a 6-foot-2 kid at 11 years old. So, I knew I needed to start working with him ASAP. It started from there and it just kept getting better and better and better. He still hasn’t reached his full potential yet.” During his sophomore season, DeBose was a first-team all-state selection. He graded 96% for Vigor on the season with 52 pancake blocks and 49 knockdowns. Coaches have compared DeBose to former Vigor, Auburn and NFL star Willie Anderson. “He can be as good as he wants to be,” Cook said. “He could be one of the best to ever do it. A lot of people say the things he is doing reminds them of how Willie was when he was here.”

He currently does not have an On3 NIL Valuation publicly listed. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV). The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
