No offer yet. Penn State, Syracuse, USF, Tulane and Memphis offers up to this point. 13u AAU Jr Olympics Champion in Long Jump. Track superstar, 1% of the best 1% athletes in the country.

6’2, 180. In his freshman track season, he was outstanding. Long jump 6.59m / 21’ 7.5” + a slowest 100m of 11.58; he went 11 flat & under 9 times. Finished fifth at the 4A state finals; edging out STA ‘27 RB, Pittsburgh commit, Tyler Reid who ran a 10.53 compared to Monk’s 10.51. Clocked 10.52, 10.64, 10.69, and 10.84 in earlier races.

Best 400m time was 48.21. Ran a 7.21 in his only 60m dash this year.

Best 200m time was an absurd 20.91. Tyler Reid ran 21.67. Another Pitt commit, WR Jacob Thomas ran a 21.19 to finish third. Monk won states as a freshman. A sophomore finished tenth, everyone else in the 18 group final were either juniors or seniors. His 20.91 was the fastest amongst all freshmen in the United States.

Running a 20.91 200 as a freshman is MIND BENDING!! My Gawwwwwww.. For comparison Chris Johnson ran 20.40 which was insane as a senior.. And I always wonder why he didnt continue running because that time was legit..

This kid may be a phenom at track.

Kid ran a 20.91 and said this isn’t my main sport lol. His 200m time is top 5000 in recorded global, human history.

The fastest 200m time, by anybody, in 2026 is 19.62. Usain Bolt’s 200m WR is 19.19. Anthony Schwartz was running about the same as CJ at the same age.

He’s talking about competing at the Olympics in 2028 now and it’s actually not that crazy of a stretch. I don’t think he will get to where he needs to by then but you never know. . . 2032 Olympics is lining up nice for him if he keeps developing how he is, he’d be 21.

Noah Lyles holds the national record w/ 19.31 back in 2022 when he was 25 years old. In 2014, when he recently turned 17, he won the youth Olympic 200m dash w/ a 20.71.

He’s in Gout Gout territory; who ran a 20.87 at 15 — which is the fastest U18 Australian time ever. Double Gout also ran a 10.57 100m as a fourteen year old which is in line with where Monk is at right now. Monk’s 200m time is faster than Divine Iheme personal best rn who is considered other fastest teenager in the world besides Gout Gout. Monk has entered that conversation.

It is great he considers himself a football player running track.. But those times are some generational stuff.. Will be interesting to see how it plays out because of NIL also but if he talking olympics, you need to focus full time and they might pull him out of pool asap to focus.. If he putting those types of times up without actual focus.. my gawd..
