American Heritage running back and hurdler Walter Tucker

He must play in a game first. If he is just out there on the practice squad and was not recruited for football then the scholarship will not switch to football.

This is what I thought, a down of football must be played.

Guess this is what Golden meant when he said we weren't done recruiting 2013 RB's
 
Watched his video. A track guy that likes the rough stuff. Not much wiggle but likes to run into people. World class hurdlers are hard to come by.
GO CANES!!!!!!

For a track guy, didnt show much explosiveness running the ball, but loves contact. Seems like a DB waiting to happen...maybe a nice physical slot guy like Markese Fitzgerald.

/no idea if that comparison is good or not but I have been waiting to drop a 'Kese comparison for way too long

Artie Burns ran a 13.35 in the 100H I believe, this kid runs a 13.5; he's pretty **** fast, and has good step coordination, Hope that helps

Just to add to this...the world record held by Aries Merritt is 12.80. So for a couple of high school athletes to run 13.5 or under is extremely fast for their age. Both could probably participate in the olympics if they really wanted to.
 
He is a really good high school hurdler, NOT world class. The time comparison doesn't even fit because once you get to college and the pro level the hurdles change from the high school height.

By the way, Artie Burns is a far better hurdler though Walt is pretty darn good.

Seems like an athlete that can provide depth and will get some experience on the practice squad.
 
Also, if this kid is on football scholarship, where's BC's "Welcome to the U" tweet?

The one this morning was for Jenkins.

Didn't say either one of them were world class. What I did say was that they were extremely fast for their age group. At 17 or 18 with the lack of true focus and training, their times are very good for their age group. The next olympics aren't for a few years. The article said he's an olympic hopeful. I also noted that Artie's time was better in the 110 hurdles. I also realize the height goes up after high school. Did you read the post or just comment?

And if/when UM adds Brandon Powell from Dearfield Beach to the 2014 class where taking some serious speed added to the team.

But Powell is a bit of a wild card, so lets see how it plays out.

Go Canes

he is a january player if we dont land who we need to, also there are 2015 players that might be better so its interesting to see if he get offered at all
 
Walter Tucker ran the 11th best 110h time in the country this year. He actually beat Burns this year though I believe Burns was recovering from something. Burns was second in the country last year. They are both elite fast and if you put pads on them their hurdle times won't mean much, From watching video Burns seems faster in pads and a better player over all.

This website is for college and high school and is dead on

The difference in hurdle height is 3 inches.
