just because you run a 4.3 doesnt mean ur the nest reggie bush. just look at the kid from chadron state who went to the draft he ran a 4.3 and im pretty sure his vert was up there. the problem was he was 5’6 or 5’7 i dont remeber but he didnt even get drafted
Anyone who has a 4.3 and a 36+ vertical and dosen’t go pro in a sport is a waste of talent.[/quote]
thats not true man the kid played for a d2 school broke every rushing record in all 3 ncaa divisions i dont know why he didnt get drafted he probably gunna make it in free agency but im pretty sure he had a good showing at the combine
I think your brother, likely a player at Jordan HS, is doing fine. I have a son who is a true soph and he’s just started lifting about 9 mo ago and is not as strong and not as big either, at 5’10", 162. Luckily, he’s a superb FG kicker so maybe he has a chance there. I think an electronic 4.6 is quite good but as several have said, plyos,changing directions and “10 yd” speed are what counts. Of course, instincts and being a good player are vital as well.

Thanks for all advice so far. We’ll tone down the volume and will definitely decrease the weight on the sled sprints. To answer some questions from posters:
-
I have not measured his %BF, though I would imagine it’s fairly low (he’s pretty cut and has a six pack for what thats worth). He eats well (protein every 3 hrs and doesn’t eat a lot of sugary food). We’re trying to gain 2-3 lbs a month with a goal to be about 190 lbs prior to his junior season (then maybe a lean 200 lbs prior to his senior year.
-
He has good game film and works 3x a week on football skills. He started all 13 games as a sophomore for the top program in Utah (I know Utah isn’t Florida, California, or Texas :)). His team has a handful of national recruits (2 players rated in rivals top 300 and 5-6 w/ standing D1 offers), so they have a lot of colleges visiting during the May evaluation period. Last week, coaches from LSU, UCLA, Colorado, and BYU attended practices and all of them took time to talk w/ my brother, say he’s doing well and he’s on their radar screen and invited him to their summer camp.
Thanks again for all the advice and we appreciate anything people have to add and will implement their opinions into the training program. Will also update w/ how he does at the upcoming combine/camp season.[/quote]
Man you need to measure his BF%, if you want him to be explosive. Imagine sprinting and jumping with a tube of lard on your back.
What exactly do you guys do for his football skill work?
