Know the 2016 Recruits: KeShawn Somerville, and why we should all speed in excitement over the Cornerback

Why the physical, speedy 2016 cornerback commit will make you speed like Chad Glasgow. #NoTicketsTho

While it was a little easy to miss amid the CFP committee selection, TCU got a real gem on December 8th in Pflugerville Hendrickson defensive back KeShawn Somerville. Somerville is an explosive athlete and just what any coach looks for in a cornerback; runs a 4.4 40-yd, and has a 32-inch vertical.

As the 17th ranked cornerback in the country, Somerville originally committed to Baylor--over Texas State--in June of last year. Suffice to say, flipping the prized corner from the hated rival just a day after both teams learned that neither of them would be part of the inaugural College Football Playoff was a nice consolation, as well as big victory for the newly proclaimed "Too Cold U".
