Myers is majoring in human development studies and wants to be a child psychologist. Following graduation he plans to do social work, trying to help kids who have veered off back onto the right path.
"For employment, I'm looking at a place called Paramount Youth Services down in Denver, which is like a juvenile detention facility," said Myers.
Myers' positive perspectives on football and life make him one of the football program's favorite players.
"Mike's a lot of fun. He brings an energy to the game and just loves coming out and playing. He's focused and serious about it, but doesn't take it too serious," said Kyle Bell. "I guess what I'm trying to say is he brings an enthusiasm to the team and is just one of those guys who's really great to have in the locker room and on the field."
While Myers, Bell and Johnson have never raced head-to-head, Bell agrees with Myers that Mike is the fastest of the senior trio.
"It would probably have to be Mike, he's a little lighter than me and Gartrell, and he's more of a burst speed kind of guy. If I had to pick one, it would have to be Mike, realistically, I'd love to say me, but I gotta be honest."
