Also ran 22.16 in the 200 and won the long jump at 22-5. Word is he barley scratched another long jump attempt but they measured it anyway and it was 24-4. For comparison, Gayle Sayers held the Nebraska state long jump record for decades at 24-10 until Robert Rands broke it jumping 25-0 15 years ago. That's pretty impressive for a guy going 210 pounds. Yea, that's basically what Marcus Fleming ran. These 100 meter times translate all over the place to the 40. Nate Gerry ran a 10.3, but a 4.6+. I have a kid right now that runs 10.8 & 4.4. That almost defies logic, but fast & athletic is fast & athletic. I will never understand why these kids w/futures in football continue to train 200+ though... Quote Link to comment

I am assuming you mean why they train to run the 200 or 400 in track? If that 's what you mean then almost all sprinters run more than just the open 100 and the 4x100 relay. These young men still want to compete and win at everything they can. Plus I'm sure their track coaches want them competing in more than just 1 or 2 events. 2 1 Quote Link to comment

Because they are great athletes and they have more to life in high school than just a football future. 7 Quote Link to comment

We have had some burners that arent great out of the blocks but are better 200m guys (11.1 kids but 22.00 200m). 400M shows who has a pair. Cant be a wuss and be a good 400 kid. I think 400M down is valuable for football kids. The LJ might be the best indicator for explosive athletes. Combination of speed and explosiveness to get vertical. . 5 Quote Link to comment

Vince R. Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Could be a really good offensive weapon but has the potential to be an elite linebacker. I say but him on D. Quote Link to comment

Warrior10 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 It's early but I think I'm ready to dub him the "must get" of the class. 2 Quote Link to comment
Warrior10 Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Clemson starting to sniff around, they want him to an Unofficial. Need to get Meyers locked up soon. Quote Link to comment
