he will go sub 10 sec after a few years of training at LSU.



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.

Yeah - I just looked up Richard Thompson to compare it - If the reported 10.27 is accurate for Watkins, it is crazy. Richard Tompson's fastest time in high school before coming to LSU was 10.55.

Thompson is the fastest Tiger to ever live....

The question might be if Watkins will stick to football, or focus on T&F. He is just a bit short for top end sprinters... but dang.
