Impressive size and speed. Seems to be able to make cuts without losing any steam

Modeste ran a 10.89 and 11.05 100 Meter recently in late Feb and early March.

Might evolve into a nice pass catching RB as he seems to have some good speed when in space.

 

[Dooooooomed]

Team full of future Dean's Listers.

Welcome... MAX! Had to do that great football and student name.
Highlights obviously being that show a good eye for open space, along with shakes and speed for the size. Catching the ball out of the backfield looks to be no problem.
Liking the Texan Connection developing.

Enough diamonds, even if they are in the rough, and you can end up with something special. Nice to see a RB with size for a change.

First in to declare going to Byron Nelson High School in Trophy Club Texas is the coolest name combo of school/town you can get.

Iron Byron the golfer whose swing they modeled the first mechanical swing trainer. I mean King of the Hill had Tom Landry school as a joke and these guys just get the coolest of cool swingers for a HS name.

And then Trophy Club as a town name?? That is sweeter than southern sweet tea.

And top it off with a name of Maxwell Modeste?? That could easily be a Bond villain name.

There is so much good name mojo in this one commit.

And @cohenzone , I see Ivies and service academies.

I am familiar with the 40 times As it relates to how fast kids are but not so much with 100 meters.
How does this speed match up to some players we have had or currently have as a comparison?I think I saw somewhere that this kid a ran a 4.4 forty unofficially.

We will run Straight As around The Ohio State University.

The guy we had from Paul Bryant High School turned it oretty good. Let’s hope that Byron Nelson gives us just as much

Off the cuff, I think generally we see 100 meter times at 11.00 and under as fast guys that will run a true 4.5 time. I don’t know the exact translation. The absolute fastest Football kids seem to run the 100 meter around 10.7 to 10.9 going by memory.

If you’re running 11.05, its still pretty damn quick. For an RB Its really the 1st 40 Yards that matter (arguably it’s who can accelerate and get up to speed in the first few steps).. You’ll see a lot of guys hang with faster guys for 50-70meters before the elite gears kick in. I would always get smoked in the last 30 as a former 100M guy. Nothing I could do about it. 10 second guys are in a different league than low 11s. Just the way it is.

Seems like some of these recruits were looked down on. I believe we struck gold and it’s only going to get better. We need to keep Edsall to stack this team

Welcome to the Dog Pound, Max!!!

 

[uconnbill]

Another Texas commitment, welcome to UConn Maxwell

 

[Adios]

These kids are the future of the football program, long term.

I can't believe these turn down Ivy League offers. But definitely may be harder to get drafted out of the Ivy League.
