Tommy started following him on Tuesday.

Kids legit fast and has been track kid his whole life, has videos on Youtube going back 10 years. Has an offical 11.ox on the track site but he's way faster than that. Loy said he was hand timed in the 10.4's and has track meets coming up.

First year of varsity last year so he's late getting the hype.

12 G ... 191 car ... 1481 ... 24 TD's

Plays in 6A-D1 (second highest class) in Houston metro. Same conference as Brock Wright & '21 target LJ Johnson.

Has a 3.6 something GPA and all the Ivy offers.

I'd take this kid yesterday and laugh at anybody b!tchin' about but but but 3* non-sense.

Thanks for making the profile. I posted this in the Master List Thread but re-post here. If ND doesn't get involved he's probably the next NFL RB out of Memphis, lol.

In the absence of an elite back that wants/has to be the #1 guy, hopefully they are positioning to take 2. Get a guy like this with speed. And then you can take a guy like Diggs which seems to do a lot of things well but might lack that top end speed. Good balance.

Well, anything sub 11 is moving. But, his track coach is saying he hand timed him at a 10.4 100. If he really runs that, I believe that would be the fastest hand timed 100M from a ND recruit in recent memory. For Comparison, Tyree only ran indoor the last two years but his last outdoor 100M in 2018 was 10.66.

Is he as fast as that one kid from IL that Crus wanted?

Marcellus Moore? No. But neither was Tyree, Henning or just about anyone this side of Willie Gault.

This kids hands down a better football prospect though.

Hopefully the offer goes out soon. You would think, considering the Ivy League offers/the fact that MSU is his biggest football offer currently, that we would stand a good chance.

I like Diggs the most out of the latest offers but if they got Martin, I'd try landing a big back.

There's a bunch of guys who they've never been linked to like:

Trenton Howland (Indiana + no idea if he has hurdles)
Antwan Roberts (Wiscy but he's the second back in class and other guy is from WI)
Phil Mafah (Clemson - How's he like being the forgotten 3* RB?)
Uncommitted:
Gabe Ervin (Actually Mickens followed him...)

But my guy would be:
Audric Estime - Goes to St Joe Regional (Cross) and I know he had early interest in ND + for a big guy I love his film. And most importantly, He's Koon's favorite player of the cycle.

Mike McNair? I know he ran a 21.17 200 meters

Cy-Falls is suburban Houston, a ton of talent in that area. I'm biased, but love Tx kids, especially speedy RBs.

I guess I’ve never paid attention to this until now, but why is it that all of these new offer guys that we should all of a sudden keep an eye on keep committing within weeks of us hearing their name. Has anybody else noticed that?

I think it’s two fold. 1. Since visits may not happen kids are getting hard sold on committing to save a spot. 2. Because coaches have had really nothing else to do but recruit these kids are getting bombarded more than ever. The amount of contact some of these kids are getting is crazy. Making a commitment stops that and also accomplishes #1.

Any chance we offered and he is going to commit? Why would kid with a Harvard offer go to Memphis?

For a football focused kid, it’d be easy to be impressed with the recent RB lineage at Memphis. They’ve been churning out RB’s to the league recently.

Very fast, almost 1500 yards, and 25 TDs. TX kid with Ivy offers, and we didn't even offer?
