Holiday's best time in the 100m in High-school was 10.43... this kid is faster as a
junior... he will go sub 10 sec after a few years of training at LSU.

Also, is this the fastest 100m ever for a high school kid coming to LSU?

Somebody more knowledgeable could answer but I've always thought Xavier Carter was the fastest Tiger ball player ever. I just checked and his junior times are faster than Xavier's AND his senior year. wtf

Thank you for sharing. I was wondering how this compared to Holiday, Kennison, Carter, Brazil, Cummings, etc at that age.

Love having these speedsters. Worst case bust floor scenario for dudes with that kind of speed is elite special teams players. That’s basically the floor.

only 2 sprinters in LSU history have ran sub 10.0, ever.


Is he going to run track too, with a higher focus on T&F? Probably the only way he does that.
