This is a big opportunity for Myers to showcase his skills as he continues to work towards realizing a dream of player Division I college football. He was a key part of John Paul’s defense in 2019 as a freshman. His high school coach and former Dallas Cowboy George Teague spoke glowingly about Myers.
Size, physical, speed, HIPS, master already at press technique. We put him on opponents best WR last year and he was a freshman. – Teague on what makes his special
The fact that Myers was asked to cover the best opposing wide receiver as a freshman on the Varsity team shows you just how good he can be. The state of Texas has produced many top cornerbacks over the years. The most recent being Jeff Okudah who attended Ohio State, he was a Grand Prairie product. Myers could be another one of those guys who can really develop into a top tier cornerback.
In today’s college game, having a guy who can shutdown the top threat is an asset. He has already mastered the press coverage technique which will help him immensely. Braxton Myers is definitely a name to keep in mind as his recruitment continues.
