What is his 40 time? Saw rivals listed as 4.37 but I'm not totally convinced this is accurate although I may be wrong. Tried looking for a highlight film but couldn't find one... Does anyone have film on him? Thax

It's accurate. He has track speed.

May be close, I think he does well in track, or I may have him mixed up with someone else.

He has gone under 46s in the 400m. That's elite speed coming out of HS.

I'm sure it's fairly accurate. He's got serious speed. No one doubts that.

There isn't much. That's why people aren't very high on him. Rivals has 2 videos of him with a total of 8 plays. 2 of which are incomplete passes, 1 is him kickiing off, and another is him punting. He does break off a long run in one of his plays where he shows off that speed. But he's got a ways to go in learning the WR position. Definite redshirt. He's a project for sure.

What do y'all think the likely hood is that he could be a good return guy with that speed?
Is he shiftier than Trindon?

JMO he's more of a Bennie Brazell type.

He ran a 4.58 at the UnderArmour Combine in New Orleans. Here is the link:

Sounds like he had a bad day...I promise he is faster than that.

I'm pretty sure all the 40 times from that combine were very slow. If you compare that 4.5 to other guys at the combine 40 times, I would guess it was prolly one of the fastest.

He's definitely faster than 4.5. He's a 400 guy which is not applicable to football because of the distance but I'm sure he's pretty fast in the 40 as well. Best guess would be around 4.4. He may not have the acceleration to hit 4.3 in a short sprint. Just a guess though. Derrick Raymond is probably the faster of the 2 in the 40. Neither is as fast as Jeryl Brazil who's commited for next year.

Landon - 4.39
J Brazil - 4.35

Pretty accurate

Brazil's time may be slow but that's plenty fast. That kid can fly.
