Louisiana’s fastest football sprints at outdoor championships

Louisiana's outdoor track and field season wrapped up this month with three memorable days at LSU's Bernie Moore Stadium.   The event featured a slew of record-setting performances and even more impressive showings by familiar multisport standouts — overlapping in both categories in some cases, such as Brother Martin star [player_tooltip player_id='723579' first='Easton' last='Royal'] with his composite-record 100-meter dash — despite heavy rain disrupting the final two days.   As always, Prep Redzone Louisiana makes a point to spotlight the football-relevant performances during the spring seasons with track and field in particular providing notable glimpses at their mindsets, competitiveness and key metrics such as verified speed or additional glimpses at explosiveness or all-around athleticism.   Here's a look at the top times by student-athletes with known football backgrounds in the 100-meter and 200-meter dashes and 400-meter middle-distance run — including in some cases, such as Royal, some particularly notable prospects.     100-METER DASH (TOP FOOTBALL-RELEVANT TIMES)     <ol class="wp-block-list"> <li>1.
