Texas Longhorns safety signee Tyler Owens won’t step foot on the Forty Acres for a few more weeks, but his name is already attracting attention behind his blazing track times.
Earlier this month at the Prosper Dan Christie Relays, Owens recorded a meet-best 10.29-second 100-meter dash time, which stands as the second-fasted time tracked in the entire state of Texas this year behind only Houston Strake Jesuit’s Matthew Boling (10.22).
In the words of The Longest Yard’s Inmate Unger, “He’s fast. He’s really, really fast.”
Unsurprisingly, the news of Owens’ mind-boggling track time gained some steam on social media, and ultimately, made its way into Texas head coach Tom Herman’s most recent media availability, in which he was asked if he’d noticed Owens’ efforts.
