LA not TX?

Needs to put on 25 lbs before stepping onto the field as a CB, but you can't teach that speed.

 

[Big Jim]

How does a guy that fast not play offense and return kicks as well as play defense in high school?

How does a guy that fast not play offense and return kicks as well as play defense in high schiool?

Maybe he's just not that dynamic with the ball in his hands. Maybe it's track speed and not football speed. I say this without having watched his highlights or knowing much else about him.

 

[Buffnik]

That's flying. Let's hope we can land a commitment.

 

[ZandiBuff]

He fast

 

[bigbang2]

10 pounds added before he gets to campus is a good goal.

 

[Bufffan68]

OMG! Is that a legit 40?

OMG! Is that a legit 40?

Even if it was a quick thumb on the stopwatch, still a legit sub-4.5 guy and that’s good speed even at the NFL Combine. I trust that he’s seriously fast.

Crystal balls from the @BuffStampede guys

Are we gonna change the TX to LA

Hadn't even noticed until you said something.

Has this guy picked up any other offers since running the 4.32? I'm still only seeing us and Nicholls St. Odd.

 

[jizzrag85]

5’11” 160? That is one skinny kid...

 

[DrunkRalphie]

Speed kills.

the 4.32 is unofficial (hand-timed) and that means zero to other staffs. CU had him in a camp and worked him out. The offer may draw some attention, but the 4.32 isn't going to do much.

I’m gonna have to disagree. It was taken by a variety of college s&c and position coaches. I’d bet that time is pretty accurate. Regardless he’s very fast.

 

[BuffLuke80]

What did Ben Kelly run? I'd think it was around this guys time.

I was thinking about him. Small and fast, and made an impact on both defense and ST.

 

[The Ogre]

According to this KellBe20.htm, he only ran a 4.53 at the combine. Was listed at 5-9, 185. Thought he was faster - he left a year early, iirc.

 

[TDforTD]

Boom

 

[AztecBuff]

Welcome and congrats to him!

 

[Buffnik]

Nice!

If we can be the faster team and the tougher team on Saturdays, we won't lose very often. This is game changing speed.

 

[Unleash Hell]

Welcome!!! Ben Kelly, Jeremy Bloom, Jeff Campbell and Rae Carruth were all small guys with blazing speed.

 

[DrunkRalphie]

Make sure Mr. Holmes gets some milkshakes before he gets to campus.

 

[Bliff Cranch]

Just sayin’...

 

[BehindEnemyLines]

Welcome to the Black-n-Gold, young man!
