Breaking: North Texas lands Louisiana Safety Transfer

Not necessarily motivation. Just positioning, footwork, and preparation.

Lack of the above can make football players look slow.

I also think of leverage. A good position coach should be coaching up fundamentals and, with that, leverage. That plays into strength (err, the appearance of strength)

Small and slow, that's why we have been curb stomped by mostly all good OOC teams

I always thought it was because most of the teams were better than NT.

I see this a lot here, how small NT is. They are not particularly small or slow when compared to G5 competition.

Unless you have access to auto-timed track speed; it is very difficult to gauge a players' speed. Mostly all 40 times are problematic. Wind, surface, timing, etc. are all factors. Most times quoted are obviously the best ever recorded by an athlete or sometimes just made up.

Also running in shorts on a track is a lot different than full pads with someone chasing you.

You can also be very fast, but if your reaction timing is off even the slightest, someone not as fast can get there before you.

For a quick comparison for size in the AAC

Nice tape. Looks like he has another gear that he can call on when needed. Git that boy some groceries and we may have a baller headed our way.

Watch his tape. Good play recognition, reactions and covers the field well.

I want to see what Harold West and Dillion Williams can do. Both came here highly regarded.

I guess the staff was not optimistic about SOC’s Safety Taylor Starling. Was committed to Colorado but needed a new home with the coaching change. Committed to Texas State as their highest rated recruit in history. Didn’t sign after UNT, UTSA and other’s offered.

The fastest kid at SOC with a 10.47 time.
