17. Maason Smith, LSU, defensive lineman The Tigers have three legit Freaks in their D-line room. In defensive end Sai’vion Jones, they have a 6-5, 280-pounder who can run 20.5 MPH and jump to 11 feet in the air. Defensive tackle Mekhi Wingo is explosive enough to generate 3100 watts of peak power on the power clean, but the top Tiger is Smith, a former five-star recruit. A Freshman All-American in 2021 after making five TFLs and four sacks in 2021, Smith injured his knee in the first quarter of the 2022 season opener against Florida State and was out for the season, but he’s primed for a big comeback. Smith hit a high score in momentum as LSU gauges speed in relation to a player’s body weight of 1,124 kg.m/s. At 6-6, 315, Smith clocked 19.2 MPH, almost what he registered last year (19.5 MPH) even though he’s now 15 pounds bigger.

33. Malik Nabers, LSU, wide receiver The Tigers keep cranking out spectacular wideouts and this room is still stocked with special talent. Chris Hilton clocked 23.7 MPH. Nabers erupted in 2022. The Citrus Bowl MVP, Nabers led the SEC in receptions with 72 and ranked No. 2 in the league in receiving yards with 1,017. The 6-0, 201-pound junior measured at 1.01 RSImod — reactive strength index modified. This essentially describes Nabers’ ability to complete his max vertical jump at a very fast rate, so along with having a vertical leap of almost 40 inches, he can reach that feat faster than anyone on the team. Nabers also produced 2700 watts peak power on power clean, which is remarkable for a skill player.

Nycoles Harbor #1. Not jealous.
YouTube of his 100m race - ridiculous

1. Nyckoles Harbor, South Carolina, wide receiver In two decades of doing this, I don’t think I’ve ever had a true freshman No. 1, but this player is different. At 6 feet 5, 243 pounds, the prized former five-star recruit is insanely fast. Videos of his high school races in which he roars past other speedsters that barely come up to his shoulders have gone viral.
Seeing Harbor in person last fall on his official visit to Michigan, I couldn’t believe just how big he actually was. He looked more like a young power forward than a potential future Olympic sprinter. The son of former U.S. national soccer team forward Jean Harbor put up some eye-catching track times in high school, clocking a 10.22-second 100-meter dash, a 6.64 in the 60 and a 20.63 in the 200. In training with the Gamecocks this summer, Harbor hit 22.9 miles per hour on the GPS.

I'm getting the vibe Smith is infected with a chronic injury bug.

Hilton 23.7 MPH
Harbor 22.9 MPH
Hilton is a straight up speed freak. If he stays healthy this season, he could definitely take the top off the defense.

Two guys I wish LSU had.
quote:
12. Amorion Walker, Michigan, cornerback
A former three-star recruit from Louisiana, Walker played five games at wideout and one at defensive back as a true freshman in 2022, but he’s made an eye-catching transformation since arriving at Michigan at 156 pounds. Now, he’s 6-3 1/4, 180 pounds and has crazy athleticism. This offseason he blazed through the 3-cone drill in a stunning 6.10 seconds.
“It’s the fastest time I have ever seen and likely the fastest I will ever see,” strength coach Ben Herbert says. That time is almost a full half-second faster than the fastest time recorded at the combine last spring (Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s 6.57). It would also blow away the combine record of 6.42 set 12 years ago by Oregon’s Jeff Maehl.
Walker’s 3.89 shuttle would’ve been tops at the combine as well. Smith-Njigba ran a 3.93 with Brandin Cooks’ 3.81 in 2014 the record. And there’s more: Walker vertical-jumped 42 1/2 inches. He did 11-4 in the broad jump and he clocked a 4.34 40, and he did it out of a two-point stance.
quote:
99. Jaylin Lucas, Indiana, running back/kick returner
The 18-year-old Louisiana native has brought some blazing speed to Bloomington. He gained 271 yards as a rusher, caught 16 passes and took two of 21 kickoffs back for touchdowns.
The 170-pounder with 4 percent body fat was clocked this offseason in the 40 at 4.29. His coaches see him as a Darren Sproles-type weapon. Lucas loves that comp as someone who grew up watching the former K-State star in the NFL, but he also sees De’Anthony Thomas in his game.

Harbor is a freak but I feel like his talent would be better utilized rushing the passer

Don't often see too many players clocked over 23mph. very impressive. Hoping Hilton can put it all together.
Also curious about these performance metrics LSU uses. More advanced than my knowledge. I can understand momentum but have no context to compare it to others as I've never heard it used in reference to players.
The Nabers RSImod is a bit over my head. Sounds cool though.

Here is a hack for these paywalls, if you put (archive.ph/) directly in front of the url you can get access to the article. Works every time for ESPN+ stuff too

MPH though, I fully understand. If Hilton gets ball and he's even, he's leavin. No one is gonna catch him from behind.
