Major test for elite cornerbacks
All season long, DeSoto (Texas) has been excited about its play in the secondary, primarily at cornerback. Four-star Texas commit Bryson Echols and two-star LSU commit Jalen Mills have been a part of a defensive unit that has allowed 15.3 points per game this season, less than half of what the team allowed in 2010.
The cornerbacks will get their toughest test of the year Saturday, as DeSoto faces Dallas Skyline in a huge Texas Class 5A Division I second-round playoff. Skyline is averaging roughly 450 yards per game and has one of the state’s top receiving tandems in ESPNU Watch List junior Ra’Shaad Samples, three-star Kansas State commit Tray Rabon and four-star Under Armour All-American and Texas commit Thomas Johnson.
