I haven’t heard much about this guy but interesting CB prediction by Wiltfong. Definitely has elite speed and can be used in a lot of ways.

Elite speed and can catch the ball? I’ll take it.

Jenkins Holly and Jackson would be strong

Frank wants to load up on backs. Emery Cain and one other will probably be gone.

Maybe it's the tackle breaking, pass catching, and wearing the number 6, but he does remind me of Kamara a bit. A saints homer comparison, but there's some meat to it i think.

I hadn’t heard about this kid until Wiltfong‘s post this morning either.

After watching his highlights, I like the kids ability to catch the ball out of the backfield, as well as capability to split him out wide and let him run routes.

Could translate into thr ability to run two (2) man route combinations like we did with Clyde in 2019.

All in all, I like this kid’s diverse skill set - oh yeah and he’s pretty damn fast!!

However, be prepared for lots of freaking out because he’s a 3* - No. 363 in the composite

A 10.8 100m is good speed but not elite.

LF7 ran a 10.68 his junior year for comparison.

What’s interesting is his usage is still low, their starting running back last year had 1600 yards and it looks like he was primarily used at WR.

0.12 seconds slower than the best RB recruit in decades is arguably elite.

Would Caleb Jackson get in the class?

You are exactly correct about the 10.66 - thank you for backing me up on that time, appreciate you

10.8 in the 100 m. Nice track time. IIRC Boutte ran a slightly better time at 10.78.

That is a really good time for effectively a raw talent.

I think a 10.6 is pretty elite for a HS kid who likely will get faster by the time he's in college. He ran a similar time to LF7 so he has elite speed.
