Great players never to go to play in college.

Being from soddy i can think of two. Conal Jones and Jarvis Smith. Let me know some of yours.

built like horse, and 4.1,4.2 speed, one of the fastest and best backs in middle tn in the past ten years. That speed is no lie. played in lewis county on the 95 team who should have won state. He was a little small though

I forgot to put hids name-benji rainey

You are crazy. He did not run that fast. If he ran that fast he could skip college and go straight to the pros.

Are you trying to say that this guy was one of the top 5 forty times of all time and he did not play college ball? Please, you do not have to lie about a guys speed on here, you are just ruining your credibility and know one will ever believe anything you say.

[THECOLONEL]

You call any of his coaches and ask them. Don't tell me about my credibility. Three years straight at alabamas camp with teams from all over the south east there was not ONE player there faster.

[6D]

He ran about a 4.4-4.45. Which is still very fast.

From the coaches I talked to. I think the camps he went to were in Georgia.

[footballfanatic]

Ok then, i guess your just not very smart then, cause if you were you would know that 4.1 is impossible for a high schooler. wow, I remember the days when people thought a 4.5 was fast...

[THECOLONEL]

All I know is he could fly .I was basing my facts on atrustworthy friend who played with him. And he swore that is what he ran at those camps. Maybe I was wrong.

[thriller]

a 4.4 or 4.5 that sounds reasonable. man, that is still lightning fast! if he did run a 4.1 or 4.2, which doesn't sound right, he would be a little faster than michael vick---and that boy is just immortally quick!

i also have a couple of great players never to make it to college: joe longmire from bruceton in the early 90s or late 80s. i think he is their all-time leading rusher--and they've had some awesome RBs. another one is reggie gordon, DE from huntingdon in the mid-90s. i've seen film where he hit a kid from riverside so hard in a game that he the kid quit football. perfect form tackle.--couldn't believe my eyes.

Where can we start with some of South Pitt's players that never made it off the corner at Favorite Market.

 

Perry Hutchins QB/DB 91-94 (Could have played at his choice of SEC schools),

 

Corey Tipton TB/DB 93-95 (Division 1AA Tenn Tech, U.T.C, MTSU, Austin Peay)

 

Aaron Chambers DT/OT 96-99 1A MR. Football Lineman 1999 could have played anywhere in Division 1AA, walked on at Tennessee but couldnt stand the heat.

 

Sam Pickett TB/DB 96-99 MTSU, ETSU, UTC, TECH, MEMPHIS, OLE MISS (6 touchdowns in clinic bowl)(4.3 forty)
