This guy plays decent competition in 5A in Kentucky.

I was impressed to see him make a few big plays against Highlands in his video, one of the better programs in the state for a long time now. If you're breaking off big plays on Highlands, you're doing something right.

At a recent camp, he ran a hand timed 4.29 40 on three different watches and told Wiltfong that ND is his dream school.

If you're a legit 4.29 Mr. Baker, you make my dream team for 2016.

Hey, slot WR/scat back that can run a modest 4.3-4.4, I'll take him.

 

[IrishLion]

He looks very, very fast... but knowing the competition he's playing (with one or two exceptions), there isn't an over-abundance of speed on the defenses he's outrunning.

I'd believe he runs a 4.4, but a 4.29 means he's improved significantly since his season ended, which isn't out of the question, I just don't see a 4.29 on his film.

That type of improvement is rare unless you're dedicated to track and work on speed constantly. If he's a legit 4.35 or under he's a take given his size.

Do not want 5-7 RB that runs hand timed 4.3. Looks like a 4.6 in his highlights.

 

[Golden Glory]

On the track he ran a:

6:56 55 meter

7:04 60 meter

10.98 100 meters

He ran that at the BOTMW camp which was indoors I believe. At a Rivals camp in Nashville over the weekend he ran a 4.56 laser timed 40. After watching the film I think he's probably closer to the 4.56 than 4.29 but regardless, he's an interesting APB to keep an eye on. I have no info on this but I see the staff being fairly picky with RB offers and accepted commitments from here on out.
