Or, if he wants some REAL competition.....
He could go to.....wait for it......the ACC!

Bwahaha!

PS - My son ran track in HS too......he always wondered why anyone would want to run anything longer than the 100?! Too much work!

Just to put this in perspective...

The NFHS 2010 Honor Roll (top 10 in the country) had times from 10.19 to 10.46 for the Boy's 100. The NFHS record is 10.15.

So running 10.43 as a sophomore is pretty dang good!

It's even pretty good without the dang part too!

Mark, is he a WR or DB in football? I found that to be the case around here.

He plays running back and outside linebacker. Here's a link to a video of him scoring some touchdowns this past season.

Oregon and OSU have both had good luck stealing Texas running backs... he would be welcomed in Texas. Tons of track scholarships. His football skills are equally impressive.

Sophomore, huh? Nice!

That's one happy coach!


Evan Royster (RB, PSU) played here locally. While our distirct has a lot of talent, as do many, D1 talent is pretty rare. His Sr. yr he used to destroy schools like ours. I mean routine 60/70 yard plays, 250 yds and 4 TD's at half-time and then he was standing on the sidelines watching the rest of the game. He was really something to watch - a man among boys..... it levels out for most though.

I hope this kid stays grounded and does well!

Maybe to get out of a bad situation quickly?

Oh yeah - his dad told me Thomas has a 40" vertical leap (which is 10 times higher than mine). I wonder why they measure the distance he runs in meters and the height he jumps in inches?

Maybe he does the track events in Canada and the field events in the US!?

My buddy gave me an enlarged photo of his son warming up before a race and he's 40" above the ground. He had his son sign the photo and I gave it to my granddaughter who will be on her HS track team next year as a freshman. She thought it was really cool. BTW - her school is in the same conference as his so she might see him at some meets.

BTW - here's the link to when he appeared in Sports Illustrated's Faces In The Crowd. He's the second one down from the top.

OK, here's yet another update
Now he's a junior and he had his first football game of the season last night. He gained 295 yards rushing, with 197 of those yards coming in the second half. No - not his team, just him! Incredible.
