A quick glance of the highlight tape of Keller Timber Creek's Mike Sandjo-Nijiki shows that he can disruptive as a defensive lineman. A longer glance shows that he can be versatile on the defensive line.

At 6-2 and 270 pounds, Sandjo-Nijiki is one of those players who can play defensive end or defensive tackle effectively at the next level. He was a first-team all-District 5-6A defensive lineman for Timber Creek last season.

Sandjo-Nijiki is an under-the-radar athlete who plays the game with a lot of aggression and has a knack for making key plays at the right time. He's a sideline-to-sideline defender, but also a bully in the trenches.

Division II Northwestern Oklahoma State in Alva, Oklahoma, has taken notice of Sandjo-Nijiki so far. While he hasn't received an SMU offer, he was on campus in January for the program's junior day.
