> Fast Pflugerville Linebacker Becomes Horns' 9th Commitment
>
> LB Marcus Myers, 6-3, 220, 4.5, of Pflugerville Connally, committed to
the

> Longhorns Wednesday after getting an offer following a summer camp at

> His parents are both Texas Tech graduates and his father, Rufus, was a
> running back for the Red Raiders in the late 1970s.
> Rufus Myers said his son has always wanted to play for Texas, and added,
> "I

> Nebraska and Oklahoma coaches had told him he would get an offer if he

> to their summer camps, but he said he just wanted to play for Texas.
> Connally coach Matt Monzingo said Myers is one of his fastest players,
> despite his big frame. "We're going to play him some at fullback and some
> at
> tailback this year," Monzingo said. "He's got really good speed for his
> size."
> But Monzingo also said Myers' future is at linebacker because "he's got a

> great nose for the ball. He's really good at sniffing out where the play

> whole
> package to be an outstanding linebacker."
> He had 73 tackles last year, and Monzingo said he expects him to be even
> better this year. Monzingo said Myers played inside linebacker in a
> four-linebacker set last year, and will play middle linebacker in a
> three-linebacker set this season. "We think we need an extra defensive
> back
> because off all the passing teams we play, and Marcus is a big, physical
> linebacker who we think can hold down the middle for us, so we're going
to

> have one less linebacker and one more defensive back.
> Myers also is a fine student. He has a 4.5 on a 5.0 scale, ranks in the
> top
> 10% of his class and scored a 1,080 on the ACT last October. He plans to
> take
> it again because he was disappointed in that score.
