That was a way to work around scholarship limitsHope so. he should, Track and football go hand in hand. Miami's greatest teams had a huge track athlete/ football player flavor.
That wasn't the only benefit. Dudes running track were more explosive. Guys doing other things developed different strengths.That was a way to work around scholarship limits

lol. If you anything about miami you would know ALL of miami's greatest teams had a some track guys on it. Bennie Blades was invited to the USA trails for the 400m. Horace Copeland was the big east high jump and 100m champ. Kevin Williams ran a 10.28 100m. Randall Hill was a 21.2 200m gut etc etc.
Ed reed wasn't here on a track scholly like moss but he won the big east javelin champion. Portis, andre johnson, darly jones ans davenport werent on track schollies but they won the big east 4x1. Jones was the big east 100m camp.'
numerous other examples.
Football training and such in last decade it seems has completely abandoned track as a complimentary sport.. The mindset is bad even from high school ranks with 7 on 7 coaches wanting players to drop track so they can get players in their tourneys.. Im guessing SC corches in programs also discourage any track participation in cfb and I am guessing with NIL it also is discouraged. Hearing guys like Reggie Wayne talk about the benefits with Curtis Johnson encouraging him is a day loooong gone.. I cant even tell you the last player we had participate even in practice.
He did, he spoke about it during covid tribute to Curtis Johnson and how they pushed all the skill guys to run and he wasnt really trying to while in college but was happy he did..Football and track go hand and hand. any real coach will tell you that. speaking of reggie wayne he was a 21 200m gut himself. pretty sure he ran track at maimi
Pretty sure Santana put a 26 foot long jump out there. Love me some Track!lol. If you anything about miami you would know ALL of miami's greatest teams had a some track guys on it.
