Reid Harrison-Ducros: A Coaches’ Dream

Move in day for the Boise State class of 2016 is right around the corner. The incoming freshmen have shown their excitement over social media, eager to arrive on campus and make their mark on the Boise State football program. Reid Harrison-Ducros is no exception, as he has been working hard, determined to earn playing time as early as he possibly can.

After his high school season ended, he was part of Team USA where he competed against some of the top talent in the country, matching himself up every day in practice with the top wide receivers. Also, he has been training with two men who know what it takes to succeed at the cornerback position both in college as well as the NFL, Larry Brown and Kevin Mathis. Each of them weighed in on their time with Reid, discussing him both as a person and a player over the years to provide a glimpse of who the Broncos will be getting when he arrives on campus July 3rd.

Larry Brown is a former cornerback for the Cowboys and Raiders who was the MVP of Super Bowl XXX and has also spent some time evaluating players for the Cowboys (including former Boise State cornerback Orlando Scandrick). He has known Reid since elementary school and has worked with him on fundamentals since middle school. “He prioritizes technique, hip movement, coming out of his breaks, that’s the stuff we work on.” It’s the commitment to technique that Brown believes will make all the difference for Reid at the next level.
