Georgia Burners: Who are the fastest '27s and '28s?

If you are a skill player and you believe that you are a college prospect, you NEED to be running track during the Spring. One of the first questions that a college coach will ask a high school coach is "What're his track times?" Track times can and will set you apart from your peers. In the 100m Dash, anything below 11.0 seconds is considered elite. Which rising Junior and Senior prospects will record sub-11-second 100m times throughout the 2026 GHSA track season? All times are pulled from <a href="https://ga.milesplit.com/rankings/pro/high-school-boys/outdoor-track-and-field/100m?year=2025&accuracy=fat">Mile Split GA</a> and the Official GHSA Site through February 2026.    100m: 10.67s (Statesboro High Pre-season Invitational)   When you watch Paisley's film, you immediately notice his 10.6-second 100 speed, outrunning defenses in every phase, as a kick returner, receiver, and running back. His ability to accelerate and decelerate is incredible, cutting through tacklers before bursting back into top gear. Once Paisley hits his stride, the defense is very unlikely to catch him.      100m: 10.67s (Statesboro High Pre-season Invitational)   It is hard to imagine a 6'3, 210-pound RB/LB outrunning the lean skill players; Jackson consistently does this on BOTH sides of the ball. Defensively, he is a disruptor when setting the edge. It is hard for offensive linemen to reach him because of his speed, and even harder for skill players to block him because of his size and strength. On offense, he can outrun defenders and bend the corner or run straight through it, bowling over tacklers before it's a foot race in open space. Jackson has earned offers from Georgia State and Georgia Southern.      100m: 10.95s (Tiger Invitational)   Render is a rangy and physical player in the secondary. He displays great instincts, reading the quarterback's eyes to break on routes over the middle of the field, or getting over the top of downfield routes to prevent a homerun throw. His speed is obviously seen in coverage, as he can fly off the hash to make a play on the ball. But what really stands out is how his speed translates to his pursuit. Render gets downhill to make physical tackles at the line of scrimmage and has the ability to hawk down ball carriers once they have broken into the open field. Jaderius has earned an offer from Samford.      100m: 10.93s (Jesse Forbes HS Invitational)   Andrews currently holds 12 Division 1 offers, half of which are from P4 programs. His track speed shows up quickly on film; he pairs his top-end long speed with an explosive ability to break on the ball. It is tough to find receivers who can outrun the rising junior and stack on top of him, as his speed keeps him in phase downfield. Receivers may appear open due to his cushion, but the burst out of his break closes on the ball so fast that it essentially baits quarterbacks into poor decisions.      100m: 10.95s (Buford High School Elite Relays Invitational)   Braker uses his speed to step on a DB's toes by quickly eating up cushion. He has the fundamentals to effectively run any route on the route tree; however, it's his ability to create shots downfield that stands out.      100m: 10.65s (Chapel Hill All-Comers Invitational)   With Resse's speed, he can strike out from anywhere on the field. Plainly said, he can fly. His track speed translates to the field, running past DBs on verticals to make acrobatic catches mid-air, catching digs or crossing routes over the middle without breaking stride on his way to the endzone, or beating defenders to the perimeter off of jet sweeps. Defenses have to account for him by keeping a safety shaded to his side.
