Really interested to see what he does this weekend at Shippensburg! So far, so good: 10.39 wind-aided 100 in his prelim. Would be a state record save for the wind!
Walkon, Ethan Black, has posted a bunch of sub 10.6 100 meter times this spring.

Ethan Black grew up idolizing Penn State University's future NFL players such as Saquon Barkley, Trace McSorley and K.J. Hamler.
Saw this kid play. Touchdown machine. Literally outran every kid on the field every play...was sort of comical actually.2-time PIAA gold medalist, Conemaugh Township senior Ethan Black commits to Penn State football team as preferred walk-on

Given his speed and his HS football record, there must be a reason he's underrated. Perhaps it's the old saying, "9.9 speed, 12 flat hands".
I remember a tight end with stone hands hus first year. Gesicki became the franchised player for the Dolphins. You can teach every football skill except speed and quickness.
Posting a lot today. I am shopping with someone who had OCD. They've been trying on jeans for 2 hours.

If he can just learn to catch the ball some of the time, and get a couple catches on tape against early season opposition, a burner like this can be an effective decoy and occupy a corner and a safety and help you in certain situations.
But yeah, maybe he's more defensive minded and can be a gunner. Anybody remember Ethan Kilmer? A walk-on who might have been PSU's best gunner ever.

Do you suppose the climate allowing year-around training has something to do with that?
PA has produced at least 2 sprinters who held the world record for 100m -- Leroy Burrell from Lansdowne, PA and Barney Ewell from Lancaster, PA. And Carl Lewis was from South Jersey.
Speed is not found just in the South.
In the 4a final it would have been good for 3rd place.
But he had the best time, regardless of division, in both the 100 and 200. He vroke the PA state record for the 100 in a preliminary round.
And Dennis Mitchell from South Jersey and Jonathon Drummond from Philadelphia, both members of winning 4 x 100 Olympic relays! Take that Florida!!
Kilmer was also a pretty decent receiver with an insane vertical. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/0iwoJ6m9E80
Obviously all Southern PA and Southern Jersey speed. LOL!
How about Chris Hogan - who originally played football at PSU and then switched to lacrosse? Had to have pretty good speed to be a starter in NFL for a multi-time Super Bowl Champion team.
That would be Journey Brown's PA state record. Black had a 10.39 to break Journey's record of 10.43
Just looking through PIAA records, found 2 additional PSU football players who hold state records
For AA schools, incoming freshman J'ven Williams has the shot put record at 66'7.75"and Brian Milne still holds the AA discus record at 206'3"
The "Southern Speed" stuff has gotten old. Pennsylvania and other states also produce great sprinters.
What was your point about Florida? That's it warm there and good for track training? Does it lead to the fastest college football teams?
It's going to be a l o n g time before anyone breaks Jordan Geist's state shot put record of 74' 3.5". F=MA in action!
Geist recently won the NCAA indoor shot title (a long college career).

But he has not yet matched the performances of Penn State's own Joe Kovacs, who has won 2 World Championship Gold medals, and an Olympic Silver medal. Kovacs competed for Bethlehem Catholic High School and had the shot put AA state record for a number of years.

His highlight reel on Hudl is comical...kid is so fast he looks like Forrest Gump running by kids like they are standing still..
