Bellow It would be really helpful to get some feed back positive or negative, just so that I can improve and become a better sports writer


I just want to say thank you for all of the feedback, I really appreciate it and I want y'all to know that I'm 16. This is what I want to be when I grow up so this is how I can get my foot in the door and, for those who think I use AI, stop that I'm not. I just don't have the best grammar so I'm trying to improve on that. Thank you for reading this so without further ado let's get into this.




Players That Left An Impact On Texas A&M


Prt 2
By Grayson Martin


Myles Garrett


So we have already discussed Mike Evans and how much of an impact he had on A&M but let's talk about somebody who got drafted first overall.
Known for his incredible athleticism, strength, and work ethic, Garrett not only became a dominant force on the field but also left a lasting legacy that changed the course of Texas A&M's football program. His time at A&M was marked by personal achievements and team success, but his influence went beyond just his performance. Garrett helped elevate the Aggies' defense, bringing national attention to the program.
As a Young boy Garrett didn't start out liking football. In an E60 film Garrett's mom said that, "He dragged off that field and said 'dad I don't want to do this anymore.' " Eventually, he would turn back to football. Even though his high school career started slow, he showed potential in his sophomore season recording 18 tackles and 4 sacks. The next year, however, would be a different story. He upped the notch with 66 tackles and 9 sacks but, his senior year would be the season that people started to realize that Myles was going to be a monster in the next level.
In his final season in high school, Myles Garrett had 88 tackles and 20.5 sacks and because of this monstrous season Myles was the #4 Recrute coming out of highschool and #1 in the state of Texas. Some of the awards that he won were the Texas Class 5A Defensive Player of the Year, Landry Award, given to the top high school player in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, MaxPreps All-American, Under Armour All-American and First-team all-state. He had offers from Alabama, Baylor, Miami, Michigan, Oklahoma, Ohio State, Oregon and yes, even Texas just to name a few. But Garrett ultimately chose Texas A&M because, "It was my big sister, Brea. One of my greatest mentors. She wanted me to choose Texas A&M." She would go on to advise him, "Myles, I'm telling you, the community is amazing," That was what Myles Garrtett was exactly going to do.
As a Freshman, Myles exploded onto the scene with 53 total tackles, 14 TFLs and 11.5 sacks awarding him with one of the most impressive freshman seasons in school history. During this season Garrett broke Jadeveon Clowney's SEC freshman sack record with his 11 sack performance. At the end of the season Garrett's effort was rewarded with the All American Freshman 1st team and All SEC second team. Garrett carried his momentum from his freshman season immediately into his Sophomore campaign. Throughout his Sophomore season Garrett continued to develop his craft and recorded 59 total tackles, 19.5 TFL, 5 forced fumbles, and 12.5 sacks. Continuing to show the nation that he was a force to be reckoned with. Some of the accolades that he got this season were the 2015 Rotary Lombardi Award finalist, the Ted Hendricks Award finalist, the Bednarik Award Semifinalist, and the SEC leader in Sacks, TFL and Forced Fumbles. His final season with the Aggies was underwhelming with only 33 tackles, 15 TFLs and 8.5 sacks but the nation still knew that even with a down season, Garrett could be one of the best players to come out of Texas A&M.
His impact on A&M wasn't just on the field, it was off it as well. During his time in Aggieland, he would volunteer at the Twin City Mission to help "serve meals to families in need and doing landscaping." He also was a kind man and was very humble at his time at Texas A&M staying off of social media to keep away from those distractions. Now during this time the Aggies were mediocre with their best season in 2015 being only 8 and 5, so Garrett was the only player to really keep the Aggies relevant in this mediocre time.
Garrett left an impactful mark on Aggieland. Though the Aggies may have had their ups and downs during his time, one thing remained certain: Myles Garrett was a generational talent who kept Texas A&M football on the national stage, proving that greatness isn't just about where you play, it's about the impact you leave behind.

I haven't read your article yet but I will and I'll provide feedback if possible.

BUT, I just wanted to tell you while we're still early in this thread that you're probably gonna get a bunch of stupid and/or mean replies. Ignore them. Good on you for putting yourself out there and having the courage to open yourself up this way to make yourself better. Don't get discouraged. It doesn't matter how many times you get knocked down, what matter is how many times you get back up.

What Hank said. The snarky will show up soon, but just realize it will be the usual suspect with their full insecurities on display. Just tune it out like the rest of us. Will also give it a read when time permits. Good on ya for making the effort on something productive.

He was great, but had very little impact. JFF had more effect than any other athlete. Linebackers and DLs are great, but they don't have the it factor of a QB…especially a JFF.
Space may be the final frontier, but it’s made in Hollywood basement.

2 things.

-FIND THE PARARGRAPH BREAK. Jesus, no one is gonna read a wall of text like that. And you should know by 16 where a paragraph break goes.

-If your're asking for feedback, which you did, don't respond to feedback you don't like using "u", when you actually mean "you".

If you claim to want to be a writer…you're going to want to write, not use "u". And you're going to need to not be defensive.

Areas for Improvement:


1. Grammar and Sentence Structure

There are several grammatical errors and awkwardly structured sentences. Some examples:
  • "As a Young boy Garrett didn't start out liking football." Should be: "As a young boy, Garrett didn't initially like football."
  • "That was what Myles Garrtett was exactly going to do." Should be: "That was exactly what Myles Garrett was going to do."
2. Consistency in Style & Tone

  • Inconsistent capitalization (e.g., "Young boy" should be "young boy," and "Recrute" should be "recruit").
  • Shifting between a formal and informal tone (e.g., "but, his senior year would be the season that people started to realize that Myles was going to be a monster" Consider using "dominant force" instead of "monster" for a more polished tone).

3. Organization & Flow

  • The article jumps from his college career back to his high school awards before returning to Texas A&M. Reordering the information could make it flow more smoothly.
  • A better transition between sections would help. For instance, after discussing his high school career, smoothly transition into why he chose A&M rather than abruptly listing his offers.

4. More Analysis on His Legacy at A&M

  • You mention that he "kept Texas A&M football on the national stage" but don't elaborate much on how he influenced the team's defensive reputation or recruiting.
  • Was there a specific moment, game, or decision that defined his impact beyond personal achievements?

Moooooooooooooooooooo!

Sportswriters should not start their pieces with misspellings.

Actually, he should drop the "start out" AND your "initially" . theyre BOTH redundant:

"As a young boy, Garrett didn' t like football"

Even better:

"Garrett didn't like football when he was young."


Who was the famous writer who wrote his friend: "Please excuse the length of this letter. I didn't have time to write a shorter one.". ?


Pithiness is the key to great writing. It takes work.
