But holy crap, I jumped 6-0 - with some college training, I'm sure I could have hit at least 6-4 in college and been one of the top jumps of the season if those numbers are correct.

If they want to be at BYU, they shouldn't be getting high before they jump.

Looks to me like 7'1" is 10th place in the BYU record book. No?

Right, but I don't think the OP asked about scholarships

I just assumed that was part of the equation...maybe they have walkons

Nat Gas Man

2/24/17 4:02pm

Most of the team is comprised of walkons

How high can a high jumper jump if a high jumper could jump high?

I'd guess that a consistent 7'8" would get him a look.

If someone is jumping that well in HS, they may as well turn pro

That's about right. I did 6'8" (and 23' in the long jump) & got a walk-on offer.

If he's jumping 7' in high school he could get some attention
