Class of 2024 ATH Malachi James (NJ) COMMITTED / SIGNED TO SYRACUSE (2/7/24)

[RF2044]

and he wasn’t “good” enough for RU probably as he wasn’t fast enough LOL.

Guy is going to light up the score board.

ELITE speed is a term that gets thrown around too often, but in this case -- it is true / confirmed.

Could see him being used in a multitude of ways, a la Qadry Ismail.

Just get him the ball in space, and let him run. The type of player who can drive defenses crazy.
Purdue had that kid a few years ago who was positioned all over the place, and beat Ohio St on tv.

Obviously there's a difference when you're not in pads and carrying a football in one hand, but this isn't normal:
Seattle Seahawks receiver D.K Metcalf had the fastest ball-carrier speed during the 2023-24 regular season. Metcalf reached a maximum speed of 22.23 mph on a 73-yard touchdown reception in the first quarter of the Seahawks' loss to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 13.

He's somehow getting faster?!?!? Good lord. What a pickup

Strength and technique.

Strength and technique.

And also - physically maturing.

Isn’t he graduating in June & enrolling this summer?

Ooops!!
my bad.

For some reason I was thinking he’s a ‘25.

Well - my overarching point stands:
Young men still have a lot of physical maturing that continues to happen at that age, and beyond.

So, it’s not surprising that he continues to improve, in spite of already being in like the 99.8th percentile of fast.

This kid keeps grinding. Love the work ethic. He’s got a chip on his shoulder too.

And from Googling it doesn’t look like #1 on that list has an interest in playing football?

Man that is some serious speed - and just a little searching shows there is national attention on these kids. It doesn’t get any faster

The top kid is from NJ, so if he wanted a shot at football we'd have the inside track.

Wow.

Speed kills.

When we see dead opponents in coming years, this is the root cause.
