Cantwell and Track?

I’m pretty sure training for the shot put is useful for the Olineman. Balance, explosiveness and power.

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..
 
Can’t wait to watch him play this year. He’s going to go down as 1 of the greats. I see top 5 pick in his future.
 
Some big-time linemen have thrown the shot in the past - Michael Carter & OT who think played for UCLA & Baltimore come to mind. Right now, he needs to be in weight room & playback. Also can’t afford him tearing a muscle or any kind of injury.
 
I was surprised but during recruiting he stated that he was focusing on Football and not pursuing track. I don’t know if he meant that in the short term or if he is done for good.
