I have no idea how that translates to the 100 but speed can't hurt on the LSU football field

Anything under 7 seconds is pretty fast for high school. IIRC Kayshon Boutte's personal best in the 60 meter was 6.90 seconds.

The world record is 6.34 seconds by Christian Coleman. But Coleman is a pro and dedicated to the event.

ETA: just for the hell of it I looked up Christian Coleman's sprint times and he recorded a 4.12 in the 40. He can make Tyreek Hill look slow.

Perspective. As a freshman at LSU, Kary Vincent ran 6.74 in the 60m. Vincent probably was our fastest football player during his time here.

Donte Jackson, probably the fastest player we've had since Holiday, ran a 6.63 in college.

6.75 is flying.

Hopefully Sloan finds ways for him to get the ball in space. Just like we need to do with AA.

This has been one of my biggest gripes with denbrock.

Hopefully Sloan changes the offense.

I'm sure the offense is going to look the same, but Sloan is going to add his own elements. He'll probably have to after taking out all of the QB runs.

LSU called surprisingly few QB run plays with a QB as dynamic as Daniels. I’d say other than the zone read, 90% of his runs were scrambles.

LSU is bringing in soooooooo much speed between the 2024 class and 2025. So many guys that have run 10.xx 100m times

Will never forget that INT he came from Offense’s left hash and robbed it on right sideline in CFP
