This kid may be an Alridge type RB/WR. He is fast – very fast!

Gotta respect that coach that chewed out his defensive player even before any flag was thrown.

I love the speed that CAB and Sumlin recruited back in the day. Glad to see we are going after REAL speed again…missed that.

Speed has been needed everywhere on our team…
When was the last time an opponent said to himself “Oh No !!! (That Guy) is gonna get the ball !!!”
Not in a long time…Ayers. But even he had limits.
We really, really need somebody fast fast fast to start putting fear into our opponents !!!

I think the last time any defender thought this was Patrick Edwards and Tyron Carrier. It has certainly been a while! That’s one of the reasons I’m so excited for this season with Marquez Stevenson finally healthy (fingers crossed he stays that way), Terry Mark, Julon Williams and Bryson Smith. And it Courtney Lark and Keith Corbin can finally turn the corner, whoa boy! We finally have speed to burn at WR and I can’t wait to see what King and Briles can do with it.

We had one recruit that was a burner and rated fairly well during the Sumlin years IIRC. Want to say he wore #4 but he eventually was kicked off the team before getting many snaps.

I remember him AJ Duggat. Crazy talented for where we were at the time, but yeah got the boot early.

Daniel Spencer was fast but his hands were inconsistent.

Taylor runs track and ran a 10.46 in the 100m last year. Finished 4th in his region and that time was 26th best in the state of Texas.

man Dugat could have been a beast here. Same as Darrian Lazard.

I watched Dugat play in the 4A championships the year before he came to campus (We’re both from Dayton). He played starting WR/CB and returned kicks/punts. Wish he hadn’t gotten caught up with the wrong crowd…

i was a sr in hs when he was a sr in hs…didn’t go against Dayton when i played but i heard all about him. he could have been a stud for us.

Lazard was in the program like three years and did not show out.

Finished at HBU and don’t think he did much their either.

He was great in HS though.

Don’t forget the true freshman Sawyer. I don’t know if he’ll see playing time this year, other than special teams but he looks to be more top-end than any receiver we have. He never got caught from behind in any of his highlights.
