[Bobby Burton]

Hearing true freshman wide receiver Kohen Brown hit 23.1mph.

Matthew Golden part II ?

[georgethepunter]

How does that rank up there with Wingo, Worthy, Golden, etc?

He is no longer allowed to run through school zones unless he uses his brakes

That was the pitch out of HS.

Golden hitting 23.1 and doing so at 195 pounds.

Or souped up DeAndre Moore! That's who I always comped him to out of HS but Kohen is a better athlete. Both good, well-rounded/all-around WRs that are prob best utilized in the slot

[f1revo]

How are his hands? Can he run enough routes effectively to play?

Legit speed is a start at wide receiver, But we all know there’s way more that goes into being a dude at that position than just speed.

Hmm ... would like to see some verification of this.

According to this article College football's fastest players: Projecting 2026's ultimate speedsters, future NFL Combine stars the South Carolina freak athlete Nyck Harbor "hit 22.4 MPH in last season's opening win against Virginia Tech on a 64-yard touchdown reception. It was college football's fastest individual play of the campaign, per Reel Analytics"

Ryan Wingo is mentioned in the link with a top end speed of 22 mph.

So if KB hit 23+ that would be faster than anyone ran in 2025?  Hope it's true but I'm a little skeptical at the moment

His film at Waxahachie last year was terrific.  He played all the big boys and was criminally underrated.

We’ll see if it translates when the lights are on, 100k are in DKR and opposite jerseys are coming at him.

That is true about every single high school kid. None of them play in front of 100k. The only thing you have to go on is film and who they play against.

Why don't we just assume all of the players Texas takes at WR out of high school can't catch, run routes and "translate when the lights are on" and call it a day? Where do you people come up with these inane thoughts?

Exactly! Which is why i don’t feed into offseason hype about ANY true freshman until it’s proven

Easily triggered at facts i see? Take a breathe and don’t be so easily offended

Not doubting reel analytics but those times are clocked using cameras and tracking how fast someone gets from point A to point B if I'm not mistaken. Not that it's not accurate because I think it mostly is, but it won't have the exact MPH that a catapult sports bra thing (idk what they're actually called) would that has a device/tracker on the player. I also assume the times are different because reel analytics is clocking guys in full pads. Texas isn't wearing pads right now so it's easy to assume Brown's MPH was clocked wearing a catapult in shorts and shirt which would obviously help him run faster than if he was in full pads.

This makes sense and provides some context.  I looked up Brown's track times in HS and he was a 10.7-ish guy in the 100m - fast but not "fastest player in college football" fast, more like "top 10 on the Texas roster" fast.

Thanks for posting this info, appreciate what you are bringing to the site ...

Pretty impressive speed while double-fisting corn dogs
