If his launch in the 100m was better he would have absolutely killed that 10.7 time.

Just a junior in HS holy crap and he's already big! He's going to get faster you can just see it. I bet you can't watch just once. It's happening, I'm coming back to South Florida!

His start is not very good at all. His speed is special, though.
Pretty easy to see why his 40 time doesn't match his 100m time. The 40 is all about immediate acceleration. It takes him a little while to open up. But once he's open, he's a locomotive!

Notice where he is at 40M? He's fast as fvck on the top end, it's his start that keeps his 40 time from being amazing. This is not to bash the kid at all, just telling the folks that want to complain about his 40 that's not the only thing. If the D doesn't stop him in the first few yds of a run he's gone.

Exactly. He could shave two tenths of a second off if all he did was focus on his start and drive phase. He's one of the most awkward looking runners I've seen inna while, but he gets it done.
He's football all the way, but with a good amount of work with a legit coach, he could make a fairly good track guy if he ever focused solely on that. Again, not suggesting he does that, but he's just a fast guy naturally.... Very raw.

He should get into yoga immediately and work on opening his hips.. He seems tight in that area and somewhat overall.. Physical specimen for sure but he'd be scary with more flexiblity.

Can track guys give me a frame of reference? E.g. At what 100m time do you start getting things like power five conference track scholarships if you ARENT a football player?

Gump was an All-American, there are worse backs to model his running style after.

Wow have to admit I'm shocked by that time..That 10.7 is very impressive.... but the way he runs and the way he starts is exactly why he looked kind of skeptical to some of us vets in his film. Kind of scary because his bursts probably cost him 0.3 seconds off his time...

As a junior, at that size, carrying football weight, poor form (again, not criticizing him), lots of room to improve (start and drive phase)....He would have an offer right now if he doesn't already.

Tried to look up Phillip Dorsett's HS times, found he didn't run the 100m much but he logged a 10.69 and a 10.74, to put this in perspective. This guy is an absolute freak. Probably be running in the 10.5s by next year, which is insanity.

That's ridiculous. Has to be the most physically talented back we've had since McGahee.
