Vertical Jump: Bryce Mahuika (2005) -- 41.5 inches

Pro Bench Reps: Scott Young (2004) -- 53

Soelberg could flat out fly, to bad he sucked so bad at everything else. Wilkerson was the same way.

For some reason I was under the impression that Watkins was the fastest receiver we've ever had.

He was the fastest receiver who could catch the ball.

I submit 50/50 as the greatest nickname ever. Soelberg and Wilkerson had serious wheels.

In HS our JV team had this white kid like Soelberg. He was a burner. Our TB was the fastest kid though in the district. If he got around the corner he was gone. The first play from scrimmage he took a pitch to the outside 80 yards for a TD. One day after a grueling practice the JV team comes marching onto our practice field. The JV coaches are proposing a race between their burner and our TB. The loser's team had to do 5 sprint laps. Basically a goaline to around the opposite goalpost back across the starting goaline sprint (220 yards). The lined up on the goal line and we were at the 40. Our TB smoked the JV kid. It wasn't even close. He was such a talent.

The thing that jumps out is that BYU's best players aren't on the list. Reminds me of listening to one of the Redskins being interviewed a year or two ago and being asked who the strongest guys in the weight room were and him immediately naming a two defensive linemen, one on the practice squad and one who basically never played. The measurables are a part, but just a part.

Interesting that all of those names have come with Jay Omer as the S&C coach. Maybe that is when they started keeping records.

We played against Granger in High School. That team was pretty talented. They ran the Flexbone type option and had Fahu Tahi as the fullback, and Nate Soelberg was the pitch man. So it was either a dive to Tahi who was quick in HS and was an absolute load to take down, or a pitch on the corner to Soelberg who could fly. They also had a huge Sophomore (or Freshman, don't remember which) that anchored their line named Mania Brown.

We lost.

Interesting that almost every single all-time record is held by the class of 2004-2008.
