His real first name is Duncan. He was born in Dallas, Tex. In his spare time, he likes playing the guitar, listening to music and working on cars. MIKE MacGILLIVRAY ON: His senior year: "I haven't worked this hard ever. It is one year, and the last thing you want is to finish and have regrets about how you did. I want to go out really well." Contact: "I liked playing linebacker in high school. I love making tackles and I love hitting. I like coming down on a punt and making a big hit. It is ever sweeter when the ball carrier looks up and sees it is the punter that hit him. I just like to make tackles and be involved in the game." One of his punting coaches, ex-Trojan John Stonehouse: "The way he talked about USC and how great it was to play for the Trojans made an impact on me. I collected all the films on him that I could. We have similar body types and I wanted to adopt to his style." WHAT OTHERS SAY: Loyola High coach Steve Grady: "Mike has a tremendous leg. I've never coached a kicker who invests so much time at practicing his skills as Mike."
