Michael L. "Mike" Boren (born c. 1962) is a former American football player. A native of Columbus, Ohio, he played college football as a linebacker at the University of Michigan from 1980 to 1983. He was Michigan's leading tackler as a sophomore and junior during the 1981 and 1982 seasons. He suffered a knee injury in the fourth game of the 1983 season that ended his playing career. He still ranks among Michigan's all-time career leaders in tackles.
Boren was born in approximately 1962 and grew up in Columbus, Ohio. He attended high school at Eastmoor Academy in Columbus. Growing up in the shadow of Ohio State University, Boren noted that he "was born and raised Buckeye" and hating Michigan.
Not recruited by Ohio State, Boren enrolled at the University of Michigan and played college football as a linebacker for head coach Bo Schembechler's Michigan Wolverines football teams from 1980 to 1983. He was a backup at linebacker as a freshman in 1980.
Boren started all 12 games at inside linebacker for the 1981 Michigan Wolverines football team that compiled a 9-3 record and outscored opponents, 355-162. As a sophomore, he led the 1981 Wolverines with 144 tackles.
As a junior, Boren again started all 12 games at inside linebacker for the 1982 Michigan team that compiled an 8-4 record, won the Big Ten Conference championship and outscored opponents, 345-204. Boren registered 142 tackles in 1982, leading the Wolverines in tackles for the second consecutive year.
