So, say this is an honest 10.50, that’s excellent. Shades of Dick Metcalf. Like I said, football all the way. He will likely get bigger and probably slower from here on, but he should be able to crank some great relay legs for whatever college he’s at.
DB might be the right position for him…or TE if he has hands and gets even bigger. For WR I’ll take a lighter guy any day, like Rice or Moss. Seems to me like it would be pretty easy to get offensive pass interference calls against this guy as a WR, just do some soccer flopping😂
I had a friend just like that: 6-6, 235-245, he did some track but went into boxing as a heavyweight. When I was around 10.5-10.7, he was really close. Nigerian guy, great athlete. Should have done deca. No real fighting career, got into it too late. One of the best athletes I have ever known, this guy reminds me of him. Today he would be nfl, 100%.
Go Nyck💪
Strange he is being recruited as a DE 225 lbs is too light even as a starting point. They want him at DE because of his height and arm reach. If he wants to play in the NFL then LB, TE or WR are his best bets. The colleges don't care about that they want to use him at DE.

Two -hundred -twenty-five pounds for high school DE at 6'5" is fine. It's routine for college weight training program to add 40 plus pounds of muscle.
