5'4" NCAA track champion and RB Buddy Young?

Per this: http://www.ustfccca.org/assets/record-book/ncaa-division-i-outdoor-track/NCAA-DI-OTF-Event-YearByYearResults.pdf, Buddy ran a 10.6 back in the Track and Field Championships in 1944, so not as fast as Kyron, though back in those days he would have looked like Usain Bolt compared to the other players on the field. Training, nutrition, and the maximization of human performance sure has come a long way over the last 70+ years.

It was also likely yards instead of meters, but still very impressive!

Another track guy. Fedanzo PR is 11.03 100m. But he's also already 200 pounds. Not sure why no 'star' love? Appears to be the prototypical 'big back' to the 'small back' that committed earlier.

Speed kills. Love it. That junior tape is great. Kid breaks off one long TD after another. Looks like a solid pick up.

Excellent film. This kid is far better than my initial "huh? who?" Whether this translates to P5 ball, who knows.

well his offer list doesn't impress. Not saying this kid is a nobody. But a low 3 star RB from IL? I am just saying, I am not gonna expect him to be the next Epstein

A Montini HS player on the board. Nice to see the staff recruiting that school.

A school we haven't pulled a player from in a long long long time. And a powerhouse in football in Chicago.

Very impressive film. This kid has breakaway speed, yet the film showed where he threw some blocks that would make Jay Prosch proud.

Looked to have soft hands as well. Looked like a natural pass catcher out of backfield

I think this is a great point, and we don’t ever really know. Some guesses are better than others, but these guys both have something that can’t be taught. I hope it translates to the next level.
