MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Marvae Myers still remembers the play like it was yesterday. A drill early in 2021 spring ball, coming off of Myers' 2020 season where he appeared in all nine games, starting one for the Blue Raiders. It was one-on-one coverage reps, and the then-redshirt freshman had gotten a good jam on his competitor at receiver.
"He was on the ground, but to my surprise he got back up and started running still," Myers recalled. "I don't give up on plays, so I chased him down."
Myers caught up with the receiver, perhaps a bit too quickly, catching his foot on his opponent's and hyper extending his left knee, falling to the ground in the process.
