Honestly, this is a down year for MSU defensive talent and I’m not sold on a 3-3-5. There is talent, yes, but everyone knows you can’t rely on freshmen or RSF in this conference. I asked to walk on, hopefully I get a call.

Verified 4.73 at the opening 14 months ago. Impressive speed training y’all have done since he got on campus


He’s much faster than that. Anyone that has seen him play knows that.

Brennan would have to be able to pass him the ball, right? Or y'all planning to direct snap to the freshman tight end?

Maybe we should give Aric some game experience before we tout him as hard to stop? Most of our team is so inexperienced, that I am gonna give them 4 game before I make any realistic assessment. Just me...

I'm just reporting the factual data from when he ran a 40 in shorts and not football pads and was electronically timed.

It's more likely that he isn't, and that 4.73 is a lot faster than you think it is. OJ Howard (who he was compared to coming out) ran a 4.51 and he pulled away from a lot of college secondaries in his career. 4.4 is faster than Derrick Henry and Leonard Fournette. It's fine to say the kid is fast, i'm sure he is. It's just ridiculous when people toss around "4.4" like it's no big deal. Y'all have hyped this kid to the point you'll be disappointed if he isn't better than prime Gronk this year

If I need to shut a guy down I’d have the guy who lines up over him cough and sneeze all over him. Mind games...

He’s fast enough to burn D1 prospect corners that have a 10 yard cushion on him at the high school level. He’s at least 4.65. He might be even faster than that. 247 knows their shite and wouldn’t have rated him higher than they rated OJ if he was significantly slower

The only time MSU has ever made the SEC Championship game was with a 3-3-5

You can be a great prospect without freakish speed. You can burn corners without freakish speed. I'm not sure what you're not comprehending about a laser timed 40 yard dash. Y'all are the ones pulling a number out of your arse, not me.

He's fast enough, I 100% believe that. He doesn't run a 4.4 though

Maybe you should find another news source.

I'll see your Arik Gilbert and raise you a Kyle Pitts.

Pitts doing work in the off-season

Just kidding, I think they are both special talents.
