I know we've had some great players from Louisiana in the past, but when was the last time we had a guy from Mississippi on our roster?

'18 JC OLB Davion Taylor (SIGNED to COLORADO)

Not originally from Mississippi but Kabion Ento was recruited from ECCC in Decatur, MS in 2016. We had Wyatt Smith on the roster too from Mississippi in 2014 and 2015 (long snapper).

Not big enough right now go play a traditional LB position, IMHO. Lewis goes 230, and I think he would be a better buff backer than MLB.
Frankly wish we would scrap the position.
He got his mom's permission to play on Saturdays after high school. Did not miss any at JC and won't have to miss any at CU.

Glad to see they've moved on from bungy cords attached to teammates - I've seen that backfire (literally) way too many times.
Mississippi
He will simply love it here compared to that practice facility

I I like the position. Kinda like a slot corner. Doesn't it allow us to essentially put 6 DB's on the field while still hedging against the run?
I liked when we would put Chidobe at the Nickel and keep Moeller at the BuffBacker to go with the other 4 DB's. Seems effective against a mobile QB too.
Probably gotta keep Lewis inside unless Landman and some others really step up. Does Lewis at 230 really have the coverage skills to play here?
Taylor seems like the perfect hybrid to play the Buff Backer. Is Ray Robinson also earmarked for the Buff Backer?

Holy shiznit, 10.5 is getting it. Not too shabby.
The Jashon Sykes comparisons continue running through my head. They’re about the same height at roughly 6’2”. Sykes ran a 4.81 40 at the 2002 Combine at 236lbs. Taylor 4.43 40 at 215lbs. Sykes wasn’t the most fundamentally sound college player but he made up for it with athleticism. Agree that if Taylor can add muscle, improve technique and football IQ, he’ll dominate.

Aztec was on this in the Pac 12 Track Championships thread, but I figured I should make sure it made it here for the non-track football fans. This is awesome!

As a point of reference, the kid who won the OK 6A 100m title today ran a 10.33 (2nd place was a 10.34).

Nothing to add, I mean what the hell can you say really?
Thanks for the point of reference. I saw some of those times this weekend (from prelims) on one of my track nerd feeds, and they had ridiculous m/s wind readings of 5-7 on many events on Friday, so I wonder how wind aided those were. But still, that's blazing.
For other track/stats nerds, here's a couple of sites I've used in the past to compare crazy wind aided (adjusts for altitude as well) times:

I love seeing CU football players excel at other sports at CU!
I’d say, in the top 2,463 in college football.
