COLLEYVILLE – Myles Crosby, a 6-3, 205-pound Colleyville Heritage senior replete with high cheekbones, a chiseled jawline and a head of neatly slicked light brown hair, burst onto the modeling scene last year.
At 17 he became one of the youngest stars in the industry and posed in Calvin Klein ads for jeans, underwear and the Euphoria fragrance. He has graced the pages of Esquire, GQ and Vanity Fair, to name only a few.
But a lucrative and glamorous modeling lifestyle isn’t Crosby’s dream.
He’s putting modeling — and the money and fame that’s come with it – on hold to focus on college football. Crosby, 18, will sign a national letter of intent on Wednesday to play football for SMU.
“I’m told I’m so stupid by every single person,” Crosby said. “That every single person in my shoes should drop out of school now and go make the money.”
But football has always come first for Crosby, who even skipped a fashion show in Milan last year so as not to miss a game.
