Alright...I did a little more research. The guy that ran Blackmon out of bounds
was a true freshman safety named Quinn Blanding, out of Bayside High School (I'm not making that up) in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Quinn was a consistent 11.5 to 11.7 second 100 meter guy in high school.

That's not terribly fast...even by BYU/Utah County standards. Especially considering that guys like our own Josh Weeks run an 11.09 sec. 100 meter.
We know that Blackmon is slower than a consistent 11.5 second guy...I'm guessing Blackmon is realistically an 11.7 to 11.9 second type guy. That's really quite slow by D-1 WR standards. We have several other wide receivers on the team who are much faster...Try Dye reportedly runs a sub-11 second 100, as does Nick Kurtz.
Thought you might be interested.
