One of the 2016 elite big men picked up his Under Armour All-America Game jersey on Tuesday morning as the American Family Insurance tour stopped by Manvel (Texas) High School to honor offensive tackle Austin Myers.
Myers, the nation's No. 10 offensive tackle and No. 103 overall prospect, received his jersey in front of his mother, coaches, teammates and friends.
"It was a blessing," Myers said of the presentation. "It's a great honor and it felt really good."

— Gerry Hamilton (@HamiltonESPN) October 27, 2015The 6-foot-5, 302-pound tackle has been committed to TCU since February, but recruiting hasn't stopped. He calls himself solid with the Horned Frogs, but still plans to take official visits. He isn't sure yet which schools will receive them or how many will take, but the certainties are that Ole Miss and TCU will definitely receive visits and he isn't likely to take all five.
Myers is slated to join teammate and quarterback D'Eriq King at TCU, though he's likely hearing from another teammate, running back and Ole Miss commit D'Vaughn Pennamon, as the Rebels continue to push.
