This didn’t get announced, but seems to have a connection with Bobby Wagner. I'm intrigued.. He looks nasty. Will probably be starting SS within two years with the way we've been recruiting that position, and Irvin not staying healthy. Umm, Covington and Esteen? Asa and Cam Williams, Kam Fab and/or Julius Irvin as you mentioned? But yeah this kid looks really good for someone I couldn’t even locate a 247 page for (maybe someone else will have better luck). We legit got walkon 4 guys at DB that have 2-deep potential at some point. Gotta think the special teams should improve

Esteen should play the same role as Asa, between FS and nickel. Asa is not a hitter, and him and Esteen are both too skinny to play in the box, which I don't see changing.I'm not convinced Kam Fab is any good, or sure where he fits in scheme wise. Cam Williams is a free safety only. And even to play there he needs to tackle better, but his ball skills are great.We really have just Covington and Irvin who can play SS right now. At least if you want a guy like Jojo who can come up fast and hit people.
This PWO class is insanely big. Hopefully Jimmy is going to create a culture of competition, and a few of these guys will actually turn out to be players.

We had 5 PWO starting the Las Vegas Bowl with Bronson, Bowman, Ulofoshio, and Bryant on defense and Henry at PK.On offense, we haven't seen as much, but at least they're providing depth

Bryant’s height will always be an issue for him ... if he was 2-3 inches taller he’d have had a ton of offers out of HS He will also be picked 1-2 rounds later than his talent because of his height For as much as people like to say I’m a doog, its kinda funny to me to have people act like doogs in telling me how I’m wrong If he was taller/big yes he would have been better and get drafted earlier... awesome hot take... Bryant, even with his height, was very good and would fit right in on a championship CFB defense as long as he isnt asked to play Safety/Striker/OLB like he was for UW because the LBs sucked. He was a very good slot/nickel corner that was well above average in edge/run support. Which all works well until a team moves a bigger WR target against Bryant and isolates the mismatch I get that the UW offense hasn’t necessarily shown a great ability to identify and exploit mismatches as of recent years, but that is what elite offenses do

I’ve seen Molden also get picked on by bigger WR’s quite a few times, but he doesn’t get near the flack that Bryant did. Bryant also go better defending bigger WR’s over time. He had a great play against Drake London in the USC game on 4th down at the goal line. We would all rather have bigger players, but Myles Bryant was an asset at UW and did a lot more good than bad. It’s a stupid narrative at this point. He balled out and was well respected by the league for his play.
6'5", 265, 4.75 40, older brother played football at Penn State, and best offer was Temple? What the fuck am I missing!?

In today’s water is wet thought ...When you know the back half of your DB class is likely full on development, adding some additional guys that fall into that category ultimately increases the odds that the 2020 DB class is passable There are reasons why I don’t want Myles Bryant starting on a team that I think is a National Championship contender ... but if he is the depth of that team I’m not hating life Dude his last 2 years were good, what are you talking about? Not his fault his DC is an idiot an decided he should cover a guy that has almost a foot on him

He was a very good slot/nickel corner that was well above average in edge/run support. I can't think of a top 10 defense on which he'd be penciled in as a starter. Nickel/slot, sure, if there were nobody else.

The assumption you need to defend here is that the actions of a nickel corner in college football are ones that most of the time favor height over other attributes. There are freaks, sure, but in the real world there is a tradeoff for everything. It's the sum total of the parts that matter. If Myles Bryant could be 7'2" 320 pounds and otherwise exactly the same player that he is, would he be better? Of course! But that's not how this works. Perhaps the lack of height that is a liability at times allows him to move in ways that made him the spread-killing nickel corner and safety that he was? Who knows.Your question of whether he would start for a top-ten team (I see three or four on which he might if given a fair shot, btw) is a much better argument, as it's a comparison of relative overall talent instead of focused on one physical attribute.We can bitch all we want about young receivers not getting a fair shot on this team, but you'd have to be an idiot to try making the case that Bryant only started on defense due to seniority, as that defensive backfield had two true freshmen starting on it this year. Guys that Bryant has kept off the field the last two seasons are 6'2" Keith Taylor and 6'3" Dominique Hampton. He also kept slightly bigger 4-star corner and new hotness Elijah Molden on the bench for a few years. This happened because the coaches working with them thought he was--as an overall package on the field--better.
That's not my assumption so I needn't defend it.
Of course, twitch and hips and all that shit matter ... a lot. But every coach in the US wants length. Sure, the premium on that for nickel guys is different.
I always assume the guys on the field are better than the guys not on the field, until it's proven otherwise (which, as we well know with some of the receivers, happens).I don't know what the seniority argument is. That's presumably for someone else. I think Bryant is fine, but he's not a nationally elite defensive back. I don't know that he'd crack the starting lineup at Oregon. Who would he bump?
