Commit Video Breakdown: 4-star OKC John Marshall CB Justin Broiles

In a growing specialized world of football, Oklahoma's newest commitment Justin Broiles is a refreshingly well-rounded defensive back.

The 6-foot, 170-pound corner out of Oklahoma City (Okla.) John Marshall has a solid frame and upper-body strength with an explosive base. Broiles is a smooth athlete that plays with great burst, but never out of control.

In man-to-man, the No. 176 player in the class of 2017’s fluidity in his hips allows him to play tighter coverage and take more risks without worry of a sharp break by the receiver. Plays with great technique, squares up receivers, and can lock them out with strong hand placement.

When in zone, and his eyes are able to read the quarterback, the No. 2 player in the state of Oklahoma may be at his best. Can often read the receiver’s route before it happens and will beat them to the spot. Has the ball skills of a receiver to not only high-point a throw and come down with the interception, but Broiles often maintains his balance and becomes a weapon with the ball in his hands.

If given the opportunity, Broiles will square up a hit on someone with that extra pop that doesn’t always show up in the box score.

However, when in the open field, Broiles shows off he is more than capable at breaking down and making a perfectly fundamentally sound tackle. Playing zone also allows Broiles to showcase his physicality in the running game, plus his aforementioned solid football instincts, which aid him in being a force stopping the ever-growing spread aspects of the ground game.

Broiles is deserving of his Rivals250, 4-star status, as he is one of the better all-around cornerbacks to come out of Oklahoma in recent memory. His athleticism alone would warrant an offer, but the No. 18 cornerback in the country's high football IQ and technique lift him to another echelon.
