Football (high school) ability

For a freshman, that's outstanding.

What's he weight?

How tall?

 

Yea that pretty good I'll say. How much does he weigh?

 

Buy the time he hits college he should be at 200-230. Thats some good speed he has there. He is still growing so he may be 6'0 or 6'1 or better.

 

Now that you've weighed in with the weight - yes, that's a pretty good time at his age. Not if he was on the track team, but good for a baller!

The challenge will be to hold that speed as his weight increases...

how're his grades?

he could have a great college career ahead of him.

 

Well dammit remember where you got encouragement from when THE NEW YORK GIANTS are crushing whatever team he's playing for in the NFL playoffs, conference finals or SuperBowl.

Of course, everyone's who is in on this thread already AUTOMATICALLY is place for 4 season tickets. Right?

In 9th I was 150 and running a 4.9/40
4.7 is very good. I was a middle linebacker.

 

when I was a freshman I ran a 5.6 or 5.7/40.........but I was an offensive tackle

 

That's really good speed, but take my advice on this-

Do not get too caught up in the combine numbers game. If he wants to have a future playing football in college, he needs to learn to play the position! It seems like kids/parents/coaches these days place too much emphasis on shaving a few 10ths off of 40 times, often paying big money at training centers and such. A much more efficient use of time is learning to be the best at his position he can be.

Now get him weighing 200 and squatting 400lb for next season^^

 

Good numbers - a 200 lb C&P is nothing to sneeze at, especially at that body weight. His press and bench numbers seem odd, though (unless you are talking about a clean & jerk of some sort).

Don't forget the other big lift - deadlifts.

Just a few suggestions... buy him this book: www.StartingStrength.com. It may very well be the best $30 you will spend. It'll help him learn good form from a young age. Then google GOMAD. Also, make sure he keeps up his speed work.

 

have him continue to work out and LEARN the game. Find out what defense the coach plays and what responsibilities are for the backers.. If you are serious and can afford it this spring get him in a high intensity training site, they are everywhere, they focus on speed and footwork and explosive strength.

Eating( Lots) of good food working out and sleeping at least 9 hours a night is all he will need to put on muscle, given a proper foundation in strength training, and most competitive High school programs have strength coachs that are better than what colleges had 10 years ago..

 

Not aimed at the OP, but 40 times are an absolute joke. I follow recruiting and find it hilarious that kids come out of college with four years of pretty elite training slower than they were in high school. Such and such recruit will "report" a sub 4.4 in high school but couldn't break a 4.4 at the combine or their college's pro-day 3-5 years later.
