Bama head trainer just leaked freak secret freshman speed of 25 mph
A 10.12 100m dash in an NCAA sanctioned track meet is a faster time than any other football player in the league has posted in their life. That was Tony's personal best for what it's worth, but it's still better than anyone else's personal best
Trindon Holliday ran 10.00 and won the NCAA Championship when he was at LSU-RB.
Jeff Demps ran 10.01- Florida RB
Others SEC footballers that ran faster:
Sam Graddy 10.09- Tennessee WR
Willie Gault 10.10- Tennessee WR
Mike Miller 10.11- Tennessee WR
"Likely" faster as well.....
John Capel- Florida WR
Bo Carroll- Florida RB
To be fair, those conditions in Eugene yielded PRs for 80% of the 24 runners in the 100 meter dash heats, including a 9.82 run that set the NCAA All-Time record. Brown ran 10.12 but not make the finals which consisted of 8 runners.
Jackson and Brown both ran at the SEC Track Championships in separate heats but the conditions were comparable.
-Jackson- 10.23 with 0.7 m/s tailwind and made finals where he was injured and didn't run again all season.
-Brown- 10.37 with 1.8 m/s tailwind and did not qualify for the finals
***Brown had the better conditions above as the 1.8 m/s tailwind should yield ~ .1 faster 100m time than a 0.7 m/s tailwind does.
***There are 100m dash "basic time" calculators available that factor in conditions and estimate the time benefit/detriment of said conditions***
Running your best time in the 100m is really about being in the best conditions possible (e.g. very hot, humid, tailwind, fast-bouncy-elastic track as all tracks are NOT the same).
Brown has the faster PR but Jackson has run faster times consistently and is probably the bigger threat to beat John Ross' 4.22.
