Sounds like both he and Evans will OV. He’s a different style back that can be used in different ways, I wouldn’t be surprised if LSU is pushing for both. Achane is also a top track guy and he was at LSU for the UF game.

Another weapon to give brady to use all over the field? I’m in. This staff learned it’s lesson, you can’t wait on a 5 Star guy when there’s plenty of talented fish in the sea that this program can go out and get.

A 10.82 100m is by no means slow (verified personal best as a junior).

But he plays a lot faster than that.

Unless this guy is an O Line Man, 10.82 ain't that fast. Not sure where you're getting this "fast" info.

Gibbs mid-season highlights show the best vision of a RB I have ever seen in a HS RB.

He's gonna be that flex RB/slot motion guy. Think of a Tyreek Hill or Cohen clone.

In Jeff Davis Parish (Welsh, Jennings, etc) it's pronounced similar to Etienne (as in Travis). I've been told that they are basically the same family name.

Kary Vincet won the Texas state title in the 200 meters with a time of 20.71 in 2017.

Devon Achane has 200 meter times as a junior of 20.69, 20.88, as well as a wind-aided 20.46. Dude has top end speed.

Vincent had a 100m PR of 10.64 coming out of high school. He has since dropped that time considerably since running T&F at LSU. I'm pretty sure Achane could drop his 100m time as well.

Also, if LSU is recruiting him for T&F, then he must be pretty good/fast.

They are the same family, I’ve met many with the last name spelled those ways and they are related.

Disregard his 100m times, he's a 200m and relay guy

His speed is elite

There has never been an OL who can run a 10.8 10.8 is probably the median time of all NFL running backs.

Now a 10.8 is not going to get a guy recruited to SEC schools for the 100, but those 200 times definitely will. I’m always surprised when a good football player is better at the 200.
