Playing in the secondary is one of the most difficult positions in football, with all the rules, talented receivers, and ever-changing play styles, so I get excited when I see a player play well in the secondary. <strong>Brandon Lussier Jr.</strong> is a 5'8", 155 lb. CB from Bemidji High School, he played the position really well in his senior campaign. He has good technique in pass coverage, good back-pedal, flips his hips quick and stays in position to make a play on the ball. He did well playing in zone coverage, keeping his head on a swivel to take the biggest threat in his zone, in man coverage, he stuck in his receivers hip pocket to make the best play possible. When it came to tackling, he wasn't flashy looking for the big hit every play, I thought he did well going to wrap up the ball-carrier, he also played the position well, keeping contain and turning everything in. I was able to interview Lussier Jr. on his Senior Season, check it out:
<em>PRZ: Hello Brandon, tell us a little about yourself and how you began playing football.</em>
Lussier Jr.: I'm a two-sport athlete, 2 year varsity football player, and 4 year varsity baseball player. I began playing football when I was about 6 and just stuck with it.
<em>PRZ: What do you think your biggest strengths are?</em>
Lussier Jr.: I think my biggest strength is that I am physical and fast at CB, I can also play nickel and jam the WR at the line and disrupt routes, and stick with him throughout the whole route.
<em>PRZ: What's something you think you can improve on?</em>
Lussier Jr.: I would like to improve on is my speed and be able to read offense better. I feel the easier I can read offenses, the easier I can makes plays for myself and have more highlights.
<em>PRZ: What was the highlight of your senior season?</em>
Lussier Jr.: Ultimately, I was just happy I got to play my senior season, given the situation we are all facing.
<em>PRZ: What schools are you currently hearing from?</em>
Lussier Jr.: I have been contacted by Augsburg and Concordia-Moorhead.
<em>PRZ: Do you have a dream school?</em>
Lussier Jr.: I don't have a dream school, I just want to go to a school that feels like home and where I can improve my game. Hopefully a place I can help win games and hopefully a championship.
