Calling all track and weightlifting people

[Jiren]

He’s gonna be the guy in 3 years at the combine who’s 6’8 330 with freak numbers. These videos will come out to validate his strength and the shot put videos will validate his power. Idk what’s more insane 73ft shot put throw or a 475 bench for a kid that’s 16…. Let alone 6’8

Does anyone have his UC or UA 40 numbers or shuttles?

 

[JG13]

Are there any comps at all to a guy like this? Measurables/weight room/track and field etc

Yep, here's the last rep of my morning workout...

750 appears to be the world record. If you watch the video, you’ll notice the very different approach to powerlifting vs working out.

Kid has a bench shirt on that makes it much easier to extend on the way up and also he has T-rex arms.

I heard he's in the 4.7 range in the shuttle.

Followed his father’s career and obviously had a stretch where he was best in the world. Not a surprise that his son would be elite. Lot of big HS kids throw the shot, but most lack adequate coaching and thus technique. This kid is strong and great feet in circle

 

[NZ Cane]

Bloody ****, that's proper strong...Did that without driving through his legs, they just flapping around!

 

[Bender]

I'll just say it in advance, if he gets the technique down early on, he'll start as a true FR and never lose the tackle spot again.

We'll enjoy him for three years and then see him get a bag in the league. Not normal.

nah this kid strong af. I like to consider myself strong but my max in my prime was bout 435. I have gotten up 450 but I wasn’t doing no reps. This kid doing reps with that type weight is crazy

 

[Confidence1000]

Shot put is insanely good. Records for TF are really good so you should have no problem finding them online. I can dig them up if you need.

The impressive thing on the bench is having the length of arms he has. Weightlifting records under 18 aren’t as easy to dig up.

Das what got me! The kid is 16!, with long *** arms, & still benched 500lbs! He’s an absolute MONSTER! BIG PAUSE

you mean the guy from Steely Dan?

Now , I know your old to remember Steely Dan .

This was my time the 70’s

This kid is absurdly strong.

Good people around him. Carries himself like a pro athlete. Social media. This is a next level athlete. As surefire a player as you get.

If you plug his verified numbers into RAS, he, at 16, is a mid 9s RAS player. With comparable athletic profiles to first rounders like Tyler Guyton, Kwame Harris, and Andrus Peat...but at 16 years old.

Should be on Feldman's Freak List as a HS senior.

 

[3FW]

Is he strictly a tackle or could he play guard his Freshman year?

 

[DemCanes10]

The fact that Jackson is throwing almost 75 in the shot out at 16 is criminal. When he strikes you, you will go backwards.

 

[brcane1]

This kid has hit the Powerball lottery of genes. I hope Miami lets him do the shot put. Likely an easy national champion every year.

Seems like easy publicity in the NIL era.

 

[Handsome Squidbum]

Are you guys talking about Bill Brasky?!

 

[GOCANES05]

I’ll bet his discus throw it pretty impressive also probably in the 240’ range

 

[305407cane]

Kid will probably set most of our weight room records

Bench shirts are super *** and artificially inflate the weight substantially.

Getting Cantwell and Ervin in this class is huge, question is do we put Cantwell at LT or RT? If Bell comes back that would most likely slide Him to RT in place of Francis and Ervin could learn Behind Bell for a year before taking over as Well.

Any chance we slide Bell to RT in 2026?
