Independence ATH Paxton Myers Paxton Myers 5'10" | 165 lbs | ATH Independence | 2029 WV is one of the more intriguing long-term pieces in a strong 2029 class for the Patriots. Coming into high school with a quarterback background, he was asked to shift around and even take snaps at running back on varsity, and he handled it the way you want a young player: composed, competitive, and productive when his number was called. The burst and short-area quickness show up immediately, and there’s a natural feel for the game that makes his versatility believable, not forced. With Independence graduating its top rusher, the offseason becomes important for Myers as he continues to add strength and settles into a more defined role. If he embraces that opportunity and continues developing physically, he has the tools to grow from a talented freshman contributor into a centerpiece playmaker over the next few seasons.
