Drafted in the second round of the 2021 Entry Draft, Michael Rexrode was reunited with Ken Clausen, his defensive coordinator with the Denver Outlaws.

Rexrode’s on-ball pressure was a big part of Clausen’s defensive scheme. Atlas LC allowed 1.9 goals per game on dodges or two-man games from X (lowest in PLL). Rexrode regularly took the top matchup -- Lyle Thompson, Josh Byrne, Matt Rambo -- and matched their physicality. Rexrode caused 14 turnovers (tied for 6th in PLL) in his first season in solar blue.
