No offer listed but article implies interest. Look at that forty. Assuming it's inflated maybe he's still in the 4.4's.

"Allendale-Fairfax RB Jerrell Priester (5-10 185) was offered earlier this week by Notre Dame according to his coach Wayne Farmer. "They are very serious about the offer," Farmer said adding that the Irish like Priester as a slot receiver because of his outstanding speed. Priester also has offers from East Carolina and SC State. He's also getting interest from Penn State, Alabama and Tennessee. Recruiters from those schools are expected to visit Allendale over the next couple of weeks. Georgia Tech has been by the school and is also showing interest. USC and Clemson are not showing much interest in Priester at this point according to Farmer."

Running a 4.31, very impressive, speed is the key to catching up with the big boys in the SEC. And coaching doesn't hurt either.

I really dont believe he ran a 4.31. Just go look at the NFL combine 40s and that will change the way you look at 40s.

When they start running 40s with pads on, I will pay attention more than I do now.

Very impressed with what Bob Johnson is doing at Vandy, could only imagine what he could accomplish if the University gave two sh*ts about their sports programs.

His cousin was a pretty good running back at Clemson a few years ago.

I don't think it really matters tbh. They're all on a level playing field with or without pads.

Pads gives a better idea of "football speed" though.

Also, until they run on the same field on the same conditions they aren't on a level playing field. That's the whole purpose of an NFL combine.

I meant level playing field as in type of clothing while running. Not literally the field or track. lol

And I don't think that adding pads helps an evaluator get a better idea of football speed. They're still running in a straight line for 40 yards without defenders, and most people don't do that in the games.
