However, it is the Black Knights of Army who have the privilege of saying that he is part of their 2026 recruiting class.
“I’m committed to Army and in touch with my coach weekly … I’m getting official offer letter in the mail soon,” declared Briskey, who elaborated on his commitment conversation.
“I called coach Darryl Dixon the corners coach on July 3rd to commit.
I called Coach Dixon and just talked to him about how much my family appreciated the time him and Coach (Jeff) Monken took to answer everything we needed answered. The hospitality on the visit and specifically the honesty on their end. I told him how excited I was to be a part of a team coming off of a conference championship and hope to be a piece in their push the the playoffs next.”

DECIDING FACTORS
For the student-athlete (4.5 GPA) who will be a direct admit, he chimed in on what lead him to his decision.
“For me it was the set up they have athletically and academically, they’re going to put you in positions to win on and off the field,” he explained. “Not only that, but the support staff they have behind you only adds to that. Coach Monken is one of the best coaches in college football he always keeps it real with you and I trust Coach Dixon to develop me and be honest with me about the player that I am from now until the future.”
“He (Dixon) has the secondary playing experience along with the coaching experience and discipline as well as him being from Florida he knows the type of player we produce down here.”

THE DEFENSIVE FIT
According to Briskey, he feels that his style of play is a ideal fit for the Black Knights.
“I see my athletics talents bringing a major benefit at the cornerback position with my ability to make plays happen and get our offense the ball back,” he firmly stated. “I’ve been a receiver I have the ball skills to catch interceptions and the tackling ability to force fumbles. Defense wins game and I see myself being a ‘Game Changer’ early.”
