My son goes to BM.

For what it's worth, Easton was sporting an Ole Miss back pack at the beginning of the year.

This was before all the drama with CLK staying or going, started.

Look, I loved Early Doucet but my boy wasn't known as a burner. He was a 4.6 40 guy. This kid is likely 4.3ish if the 10.3 100m time is accurate. IF.

Not with that speed. Doucet was a good player, but not a blazer.

Athletic and stout like Doucet and around same height, though Doucet is probably a bit taller.

But then add legit track speed to that.

The track coach should've accompanied Lane on the visit. It's recruiting, use all resources!!

Percy Harvin might be a good comp here. Same height and weight, blazing speed.

I never saw Early Doucet drop a ball.
His route running was elite as well.
I hope Easton is Early 2.0 with track star speed!

Sorry if this is common knowledge, is Easton related to Robert Royal?

Jamarr is bigger and uses his upper body strength so damn well, and while he has great football speed and ran a 4.38 40, he was like a 11s 100m guy in high school.

Easton Royal is the same size as Harvin and ran a 10.38 100m. He has legit sub 4.3 speed. Harvin also ran a 10.43 100m.

I think he's a better catcher of the football than Harvin at this stage in their careers, but that's the comp I'm going with.

Im an Athletic Trainer and we played Brother Martin this year. I have been doing this for 17 years. I have never seen a more athletic player. He brought a punt back that nobody should have been able to gain positive yards on
