He is a 4* Athlete who I thought to be an OU lean even though he is in Texas (his town is closer to OU then A&M). What position is he being recruited for primarily?

Def think he's an Anias Smith type. WR, slot, RB, PR.

Supposedly, he is crazy fast but his competition isn't that great. He is highly sought after for his speed though.

Ran a 10.4 as a high school sophomore. So yeah, he's fast.

Damn. That is fast. He and Sategna in this class would be serious speed.

I'm not much of a football scout, but I saw one of his games in the playoffs this year and he was blazing fast. I'll leave the ability decision to Jimbo.

I also happen to know him personally and he's a great kid. I would be proud for him to be an Aggie.

Because he doesn't have a hand time that is so far off from the kids abilities. The only reason Thompson has his is from his hand time. Just saying. Maybe I need to post a crazy hand time for Major so he can blow up too. hahaha

Those are some very bold claims. Thompson has offers from Bama, Clemson, UGA, LSU, etc. Everhart has offers from TBAT and Central Michigan.

I am not scout enough to debate. But it looks like the market is speaking loudly.

I don't know how fast he is but the idea that 2A/3A talent is automatically a downgrade doesn't hold water. There have been many exceptional talents from small schools, i.e. Rodney Thomas.

I've heard he can really sing.

Some have even called him 'The Voice of Our Generation'.

Just watched his highlights.

10.8 or 10.4, whatever.

He's the fastest player on the field, and it ain't even close in all but maybe 2 clips.

Good conversation on this topic

I watched his film. He is fast, not fastest in the nation fast but he is fast. I was more impressed with his vision and his balance than his break away speed. He definately ran away from the kids he was playing against but that level of competition is pretty average at best. I think he could make a Really good college player but he is not on the same speed level as say a Devon Achane. So I get the point of the poster who brought up the discrepancy in the 100. That said He is a take in my opinion.

Achane is probably one of the 5 fastest guys in all of college football.

If that is our new benchmark for acceptable speed, we have indeed arrived.

A 10.4 100 would be close to achane fast that's the point. Dude is a good player but this whole conversation centered around the legitimacy of his speed and what has been reported.

Looks like he is coming to visit campus soon and will get a tour from Reggie McNeal.

Appears he played QB his soph year and WR his junior year. Still shaping into an elite WR I'd imagine but has all the athletic tools if he has the hands (like most former QBs do) and if he can perfect his route running.

I used to coach some high school sports back in the day. I mean the one thing I would never do (and I mean never) is come onto a message board and anonymously blast a high school athlete. Let alone doing so with biased opinions such as "he couldn't play for us". I seriously hope Catfish is indeed a Catfish and not teaching young men how to respect others.

I'm in the area as well. I've seen him play several games, and I think he plays corner in college. The speed is there, but not sure he has the height or size to play WR or RB. I'm not a coach so take that for what it's worth.

Notice that he also ran the 200 meters in 21.74. Anything under 22 sec is elite speed. Achane ran a 21.34 in his meet at A&M, so this guy is not far behind. Granted that Achane ran sub-21 as his best time in HS.

We have needed track guys that can play football. Some of our previous WRs were possession type receivers but that couldn't get separation from DB's. You need both types, but WRs with elite speed are game changers. Just look at the speed that Alabama's WRs have. Even Baylor has had some outstanding WRs that were on their track team

I see that we are starting to pick up guys with this type of speed - Achane, Chase Lane, Ainias Smith, etc.

Back in the 70s, 80's, & 90's we were recruiting players that were also track stars: Rodney, Thomas, Skip Walker, Mike Mosley, Lester Hayes, Greg Hill, Leland McElroy, Bubba Bean, Carl Roaches, Curtis Dickey, etc. Speed is king.

Maybe that coach missed a number and meant to type that Brenen runs a 10.18 instead of a 10.8?
Jack Boyett

10.18? Is that right? That's the first track meet of the season.

Edit - that Dave Cambell video is at Canadian, probably last year. He ran at a meet at WTAMU today.

I'm so conflicted about this thread. I want to support Catfish because I have had other Aggie high school football coaches temper my enthusiasm about kids A&M recruited from the schools they were at. So far my one Aggie friend is 100% on kids he told me wouldn't make it A&M. Of course, he told me in private and not on a public forum and I never post what he tells me on TexAgs. However, I kind of like the "inside" information from Catfish and although I'm a little surprised he said it on a public forum, I'm interested to see how this all plays out. I'm sure we can get some wagering going on.

Can one of you smart guys mark this post for review in 3-4 years?

Clear Lake is 6A. 50 second 400m is very competitive in high school track. This thread may be filled with more Uncle Rico's than any thread in Texags history. "In '82, I used to be able to throw a pigskin a quarter mile".
