He notched 82 tackles and one interception this past season.
Myrick disclosed his commitment during his stay on campus Wednesday. He arrived for his visit Tuesday evening.
He checked out Louisville on Monday.
We were told Myrick also had visits arranged with LSU, Georgia Tech, Wisconsin, Cincinnati and Memphis.
The latter was significant as much because Memphis hired Southern Miss coach Charles Huff as its replacement last month, and it speaks favorably if you’re one the head coach is pushing to take with you.
