His film reminds me a lot of another electric Northern VA kid. Taylor Morin who broke Wake Forest's all-time receiving record this year. Difference being Salmin is 6'1 and he was 5'10ish.

Ran a 21.24 indoor

Ran a 33.73 / 300 in the vid below.

Is this guy gonna be SO fast that he'll want to go to a track school?

Bruh we are a track school. We can claim Yared MF Nuguse as our own!

If indoor is all he needs then we're good.

Anyways, I just looked up the fastest 200's in HS this year and he's a bit off the pace for the top of the elites.

This guy ran the fastest, a 20.40 and has a final 5 of SC, Oregon, A&M, Bama and.... Penn St???

That was an outdoor time for Arrington which is quite different than indoor, but Carrington is a legit 20.60 guy, don't believe he has participated in indoor track. Salmin ran 21.14 as a 10 grader so I expect he'll be in the 20.8x range this outdoor season.

They're both juniors who set their respective 100m & 200m PRs in the sophomore outdoor season. Arrington ran a 20.4 and 10.27. Salmin ran 21.14 and 10.44. Both are incredibly fast, but the thrust of what BobbyMac was saying is that we don't necessarily need to worry about him track-timing his way to a pure T&F school because A. The Brandon Arringtons of the world are still significantly ahead of him and B. Even Brandon Arrington himself isn't limiting himself to schools with strong track programs.

Third reason not to worry, as MacIrish75 said, we have had some elite runners in recent memory on our track team (albeit distance athletes)

Got that, me and my brother watched the CA Indoor at Arcadia and Arrington won the 60m (6.67), our recruit Bonner ran a 6.8 those guys were flying, and won the 150m (15.26). I wouldn't think Salmin would be worried about going to a pure T&F school since he see's himself as a Football player who runs track as opposed to the opposite. Arrington is raw but a stud on the gridiron as well, the guy has some tools to work with and is around 6'2 1/2 185lbs already. Definitely one of those guys I could see at Oregon slightly ahead of USC.

Oof. Jamie and Mike Frank aren't going to be in a good mood on Monday's Power Hour.

Need to have bigger target boards from the jump. When both numbers and quality has been a problem gotta at least hit numbers

Clemson's offense has been a dumpster fire for years and these two want on board that?

Dumb move by them.
