Argyle CB Maliek Bracy
What he did: Bracy had 10 tackles (eight solo, two assisted), 1 tackle for loss, and 1 red zone interception in Argyle’s 42-35 win over Colleyville Heritage, helping the Eagles avenge last year’s playoff loss to the Panthers.
Who he is: A 6-2, 185-pound junior who is a full-time starter for the first time this year. He was an honorable mention for last week’s Defensive Player of the Week nomination.
The stats: This season, Bracy has 24 tackles and three INTs in four games.
He said it: “I feel a lot more comfortable than I did last year when I was younger, and I think I have a much better feel for the game.”
Coach said it: “He executed a perfect technique on the interception. He put his back to the wide receiver, looked for the ball, and it hit him right in the hands.” - Argyle coach Todd Rodgers
Did you know? Bracy wants to be a firefighter in the future. “It’s something dangerous but cool to do, and I love to help people,” he said.
