Continue ReadingThe 40-yard dash is usually one of the more exciting drills at any camp. As it relates to recruiting and sticking out in front of college coaches, measurables are key, and running a fast 40-yard dash time can almost certainly get you on someone’s radar.
Speed kills, and it’s always fun to see which prospects are going to turn on the jets during the 40-yard drill. The PRZ IL Prospect Tour had some athletes clock some pretty decent times, and as a result, we put together an All-Speed Team to highlight which prospects ran the fastest times and I also breakdown how I would best utilize their speed on the field.
So without further ado, let’s get to know some of the fastest prospects who were in attendance at this weekend’s camp…
