Oklahoma 2022 target Terrance Brooks discusses his recruitment

Sooners Wire spoke with 2022 defensive back Terrance Brooks on his recruitment from the Oklahoma Sooners.

One of the targets for the upcoming 2022 recruiting class is John Paul II’s Terrance Brooks. He is not a player that lacks confidence, which is a trait that you want in a defensive back. As much as the physical tools are an important part of the makeup, they need to have the confidence to shut down an opposing wide receiver on any given night.

Sooners Wire recently spoke with the four-star cornerback about his recruitment process up until this point. “This last season was good, made a lot of plays on the field and dominated,” Brooks replied when asked about the 2020 season. “Even though it was cut short, I started working on my craft on the side a lot getting ready for next season.”

Brooks was offered by the Oklahoma Sooners back in July of 2020. They were among a group of schools that offered the talented defensive back. He stated that he has talked with cornerbacks coach Roy Manning, defensive coordinator Alex Grinch, and head coach Lincoln Riley. Notably, Brooks mentioned Texas, Oklahoma State, and Texas Christian on his list of schools.

We asked Brooks what was the biggest draw to coming to Norman. “The biggest draw to OU is the amount of playing time I’m going to get and the relationship with the coaches.” At this point in time, Brooks stated that his recruitment was still wide open. He will likely narrow down his list of schools around spring break.

Texas target Braxton Myers gets invite to UA showcase

Texas recently offered a scholarship to John Paul II’s Braxton Myers. He received an invite to the Under Armour showcase in Mansfield, Texas

The Texas Longhorns coaching staff recently made an offer to 2023 cornerback out of John Paul II High School in Plano, Texas. The future college cornerback has received a total of 11 offers so far early on in his recruitment. Myers tweeted out that he was invited to the Under Armour Underclassmen Showcase that takes place at RL Anderson Stadium in Mansfield, Texas.

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.
