There's speed, there's good speed, and there's blur-fast, Oregon backfield ludicrous speed

LaMichael James runs a  10.5 hundred meters.  Lache Seastrunk ran 10.33 as a Texas schoolboy, DeAnthony Thomas 10.57 at Crenshaw High in Los Angeles  Kenjon Barner is an eyelash slower at 10.76, but plenty fast with a football under his arm:



Oregon's newest target at running back is Thomas Tyner of Aloha High, who won the 100 meters this weekend at the Oregon 6A state track championships.  Earlier this spring he set the state record, blazing for 10.35 at the Metro League championships.  Oh yeah, he also ran for 20 touchdowns and 1500 yards while leading Aloha to a state championship in football last fall, behind the blocking of Oregon recruit James Euscher, a 6-7, 280-lb. tackle.

Tyner would look blur-fast in blur-green, and he'd be right at home in this fast company.
