I was over at a usc message board and they posted the spring 40 times of some of the sc players. Taylor Mays a junior safety ran a 4.26 at 6’3’’ 3/4 and 221lbs. He also vertical jumped 41’ and benched 225lbs 21times. Brian Cushing(who defranco trains) ran a 4.55, benched 225lbs 35times and vertical jumped 39’. The usc defense this year is going to be crazy, 4first round draft choices(if taylor mays comes out) and they all may go in the top 10! Coach carlisle is there s and c coach and from what i read, he’s pretty good.
Wow, thats impressive. I’ve also heard that Rey Maualuga has been running in the 4.4’s weighing 250 also. If he could have came out for the draft this year, he probably would have been the #1 LB in this draft class.
Ya, maualuga was listed at running a 4.76, but they also said that right now he is 270lbs. I would think that rey would drop down to the 250 and at the very most 260lb weight range. I think 270 is a bit to much. Other notables, Stafon Johnson ran a 4.41, David Beuhler the kicker ran a 4.64, Ronald Johnson ran a 4.36 and Damien Williams(Arkansas transfer) ran a 4.43.
