Dude's got some structure to go with that speed to - I love it.
So dudes fast and built like a tank. Not bad.
He is an impressive athlete. Great to have him on board.
chubb ran around 10.6 (not sure if electric timed) so he's in that level of elite fast guys.
If Chubb ran a 10.6 100 meter and this guy from and 11.3, that a BIG difference in speed.
Doing some simple math, assuming those times are correct, a guy running a 10.6 100 meter time would be 7 meters ahead of a guy running a 11.36 100m time after 11.36 seconds.
Not a huge difference in one respect but definitely big enough to avoid a tackle etc. Personaally I doubt Chubb ever ran that fast but perhaps he did.
Coached HS track a long time, Chubbs time was electronically timed at state meet. But in a 100m sprint, .7+ is getting smoked. I know that isn't what you would like to hear, its not fast for a skill guy. Now he is a big muscular guy for a RB.
If anybody on this board could verify Chubb's time, I figured it would have to be you. In reality you're right, 0.7 seconds in a 100m sprint is pretty significant. Koback does have a good physique for a RB, and with the right training I'm sure he could get his time 100m time down.
Chubb also won state shot put and can jump over most people. Freak.

Chubb ran a 10.69 100 meter at states his senior year (his fastest, also a school record). Koback ran a 4.35 40 at the Army Combine in January. I'd say that's pretty damn fast for a skill guy.
i might run a 10.5/40............ it's all about the numbers.
Yea. The 10.6 was his fastest. 11.3 I have no idea if it's kobacks fastest.... but being one of the fastest guys at the combine let's me know this dude is quick and fast.
Are the 40 times at the Army AA combine electronic or hand held? The only thing I could find stated they were NOT electronic timed, which makes sense considering there were multiple sub 4.4 times.
I looked at the link, Kentucky has some good times and distances in certain events, but the speed events weren't 2 of them, Florida has more instate speed than Georgia normally, but last year Georgia had a guy who ranked 2 in sprints nationally so he was pretty fast, like a 10,2 100 and 20.3 200. A 190 or so guy, but didn't play football, track kid all the way, his goal is the Olympics.
4.35 is blistering fast for a skill guy, the 100 time just isn't. For the record Chubb ran a 4.41 at that combine. Kid looks the part and after running a 40 like that I am surprised at that 100 time, They don't mesh together Not disrespecting the kid, but after going to state track meets for 40+ years I know a fast time in the 100M because fair or not its the showcase event and the one I can remember from year to year. Fastest HS time I ever saw in person was a 10.17, fastest I ever saw in person was a 10.06 by Hershel Walker when he was in college. HW ran yards in HS and his time was 9.5, which translates roughly to 10.35 100 meters, but was't a state record at the time.
It was a race. Perhaps the kid was just trying to win and coasted to the finish. Also, his 40-yard time is much more relevant to football speed than 100 meters.
something doesnt smell just right about that time. There are too many people that will run way better than a 11.36 100m time and at a state meet? Had I ran track in High School and I was a short legged white boy, I would have run a 11.3. I was timed in the fall of fr. college in 100yd at 10.3 and by all means that is not fast today. That was in 1970!
One camp they mismeasured, was only 38 yards, don't think it was the Army one though. The biggest variable is when the clock starts, different camps do it different. Some go on first movement, some go on first step, some go on a gun and smoke. That first step will give you some fast times. Chubb isn't a break away back, he was caught from behind a couple times, but has good speed and it takes a fast guy to catch him but he did get caught by a couple of guys. Now Keith Marshal who our OC failed to give much of a chance was a guy who didn't get caught from behind, but he ran a 4.31 at the combine this year, was a 10.30 100 guy in HS, he just didn't have great balance or vision and didn't lift his feet like great RBs do. But going to get his shot in the NFL because of the speed.
Yeah, I agree with you, someone screwed up the timing I think, unless he was running into a 60 mph headwind or something. Something has to be off with it, your time would be about 11.15 in meters. In Georgia, which I know has a different population, 11.36 will be hard pressed to make the finals in any classifications, even either of the class A, public or private.
I think I saw a few years ago that Jeff Demps ran around 10 seconds flat (10.03 maybe?) in high school lol. That's blistering. Him and Chris Rainey basically turned the game into a track meet every time they played Kentucky.
Jeff Demps has borderline world-class speed, at least he did when he played for the Gators.
Not to throw water on all this but maybe two times in his career will he be in a situation where he needs to run a straight line over 40 yards to get away from anybody. Does he have quick feet, can he accelerate throgh a hole, can he change direction without losing speed ....these are what I want to see nothing else matters.

Demps had the high school record for a while, easy number to remember, 10.01 (IIRC. LOL) think he set it in about 2004 or 05, he held it for a while but think it has been broken since.
Not sure, but you either had a typo or are comparing apples and oranges, lot of difference in 100 yards and 100 meters. One meter is 39.37 inches (vs 36 inches per yard) so 100 meters is about 109,5 yards, so add about 10% to 100 yard times vs 100 meter times. Not sure when everything went metric in track, but the US was supposed to convert all our measures to metric (decimal) in about 1960 but it didn't take, obviously, how many people know Chubb weighs just over 100kg.
A generally accepted rule when converted records was to add .85 to 100 yard times in converting to 100 meters. Of course it won't be the same for all kids, but its pretty close for kids running from 9,5 to to 11.5 100 yards.
Koback has elite speed and was timed with a sub 4.4 multiple times at UK and backed it up at the Army camp. This kid may be the most talented back UK has recruited and that includes Boom
Ran a 7.05 in the 60. Keith Marshall's best in hs was 7.12. So it looks like he gets shot out of a cannon but doesn't have the top end speed. Either way. They said lber had hard time staying with him in army camp and he had over 2000 yards rushing and avg around 10 ypc....
Demps did have world class speed, was on the USA's Olympic winning 4X100 team the last time out. He didn't have to have world class speed to outrun UK unfortunately, neighborhood class would do.
Agree. You can see he's got a noticeable lead. Ain't trying to impress scouts, just win. Why risk a pull?
Out of all the choices offered to be believed in this thread, I choose to go with this one until proven otherwise.
It fits my personal agenda the best. Thank you.

Must be fast, however, for a track guy if he won the race.
Yeah, being faster than all the others seems to have its benefits, unless you are racing residents of a nursing home.
Koba k was timed at 4.34 at 200 pounds that's fast period. If it's hand held he runs around 4.4 which is what Locke ran at the combine.
