Phillip Michely Named First Team Elite All-American
Somerset Academy Standout Earns National Recognition as One of Florida's Most Reliable Playmakers
Elite All-American recognizes only twenty-two First Team selections nationwide following a comprehensive evaluation of the country's premier high school football players.
Selection is based upon on-field production, performance against elite competition, football character, leadership, positional excellence, and long-term projection.
Being named First Team Elite All-American represents one of the highest honors awarded annually by Elite All-American.
Some receivers become stars because of highlight-reel catches.
Others earn recognition because coaches know they can be trusted whenever the game is on the line.

Following another productive season at Somerset Academy Canyons and impressive performances against elite offseason competition, Michely earned First Team Elite All-American recognition as one of the country's premier wide receivers.
