USC football recruiting: Four-star safety Braxton Myers commits to Trojans on CBS Sports HQ
USC added a big-time commitment on Monday as four-star safety Braxton Myers committed to the Trojans at CBS Sports HQ. Myers, the son of former Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Michael Myers and a junior at Coppell (Texas) High School, has assured USC of offers from Arkansas, Auburn, Clemson, LSU and Ole Miss.
Myers ’addition pushed USC to No. 8 of the 2023 recruitment rankings, after Louisville and Baylor. In addition, the Trojans have the fewest commitments of any team in the top 12 with only seven commits. Three of the promises are five -star recruits.
The junior boasts an impressive 6-foot-1, 185-pound frame that should quickly make him an early contributor if he emerges in college. The defensive back is rated No. 109 players in the Class of 2023, including No. 6 overall safety.
“[Myers] is already physically where you want him to appear in college, ”wrote the 247Sports National Recruiting Expert.“ With 76.5 inches of wing width you have prototype defensive back gear. His height and slender muscular frame are motivating factors for him. These proven numbers as well as his athleticism make for a beautiful player with a bright future.
Myers was named a unanimous all-district cornerback selection in his first season at Coppell High School, playing the highest classification in Texas high school football.
