I'm sure his recruitment has picked up, but has anyone seen this.


210-pound RB who ran 100 meters in 10.61 seconds gets major attention

I am sure your son is a fine boy, Mrs. McBean.

10.6 is a really good time. At 210 lbs, it's flat out booking it, and he has another year to improve. Hopefully he has the sense to leave the West Coast.

---

His current college list on 247 is New Mexico, Sand Diego St., Dartmouth and Sacramento St. May have to go show out there for a year before the SEC comes calling.

I thought you were just TexAging by throwing in an Ivy school with New Mexico and SDSU, but sure enough…

Especially right after the Sand Diego St. typo.....but nope those were his actual schools listed.

What was Achene's 100m time as a HS senior?
Of course 10.6 is impressive, but not really an indicator of a good RB.

Achane ran a 10.53 in High School

From Achane's 2019/20 Gatorade Player of the Year - Sprints Profile:

Achane also ran legs on the 4x200 and 4x400 relays, which were both ranked second nationally, and he turned in individual performances in the 100 (10.53) and 200 (21.57) that were each within the U.S Top 25 this spring. In 2019, he was the fastest 200-meter runner in the country, winning the event at the Class 5A state meet outdoors. Achane also ran on 4x100 and 4x200 relays that were ranked No. 1 in the nation in 2019foursomes that won both state and New Balance Nationals Outdoor championships.

If you want to be really impressed, look up some of Nyck Harbor's races. At 6'4" and 240 pounds, he's running 10.11 100s and 20.2 200s.

I wouldn't be surprised if he gets offered by Oregon track.

Sac State? Really? You can't spell Sucks without CSUS...

Straight line speed is great. Just generally not as important as lateral quickness, burst, being patient, and making LB miss in the hole.

And then there is pass pro and catch swing / wheel routes.

Yawn, talk to us when he gets down to 10.2 or under

Agreed. And superior straight line speed, particularly in taller athletes usually indicates poor lateral movement

The exceptions are rare. Achane for example was short, so not an exception

Rueben Owens is an example. Very fast (10.68 in the 100) but lacks the quick lateral movement, momentum change and then burst. Achane had it, and was amazing at turning his body sideways to fit through tight spaces. His awareness of space is second to none. Big part of why he has made an elite pro too.

16-year-old Dillon Mitchell 🇺🇸 clocks 9.88s (5.7) over 100m in Texas!

Last week, he set an U18 World Record of 6.59s over 60m.

Sorry, but 10.68 is not "very fast." It's more like average speed for a running back (kinda like the kid posting a 10.61).
