Awesome pickup! We are killing it this weekend. Still, 6' or 6'3"? Judging by the pics during his visit he looks 6'3".

 

[WeeWoo]

With his speed D'so are gonna have to respect it, maybe opens up some more of the field to use. Wonder if he gets a look at either kickoffs or punt returns.

Big Time

When's the last time we had a player also run track? Qadry "The Missile" Ismail?

He was my favorite player when I was a kid.

 

[rackman18]

With that speed , no doubt he will get a shot.

Mike & Larry Morris did back in my days on the Hill.

Jim Turner?

Maurice Jackson, I think.

Pasqualoni put a stop to that practice and I'm a little surprised that, in the era of over-specialization, Babers would allow this. (I think it's great for the kids and hope Butler does well with two sports.)

I would never turn down a WR who wants to be a sprinter and is actually fast enough to do it. The crossover benefit of these two activities is very tangible.

Don't be surprised if this becomes more common under Babers. Baylor Allows it. Some sources indicate that Briles encourages players that play both in HS to go to Baylor to Play football and run track also, looks like they join the track team after spring football is over. Speed Kills.

Another option at qb if worse comes to worse.

Bailey - you didn't have to put unstoppable in quotes .

Can he take one of the Track schollies? And not count against the Football scholarships.
