Mickey was flying

One of the biggest plays during [autotag]Notre Dame football[/autotag]’s win over Pittsburgh was when cornerback [autotag]Jaden Mickey[/autotag] picked off a pass and took it 43-yards to the house.

The amazing play put the Irish up 31-0 early in the third quarter, virtually sealing the game for Notre Dame. Like they do every week, [autotag]Reel Analytics[/autotag] took a look at which players hit the top max speed during Week 9 of the college football season.

One of their players they highlighted was Mickey on his return. They estimated that the Irish corner hit a max speed of 19.9 miles-per-hour, almost going as fast as you could in a school zone.

It was the first interception of Mickey’s career and a memorable one. Here’s to more plays like this one from the talented freshman.

Ohio State’s Marvin Harrison Jr. clocked with fastest sprint speed in Week 2

Harrison Jr. was flying #GoBucks

One of my favorite new X, the website formerly known as Twitter, accounts is [autotag]Reel Analytics[/autotag] and they singled out [autotag]Ohio State football[/autotag] star wide receiver, [autotag]Marvin Harrison Jr.[/autotag]

The presumed top-five NFL draft prospect had a monster game, catching 7 passes for 160 yards and two scores. One of those catches was a career long 71-yard strike where Harrison Jr. beat his defender and raced into the end zone.

That open field run was named as the fastest run speed in all of college football during Week 2 by Reel Analytics, clocking the Buckeye at a very impressive 22.2 miles-per-hour. For a player not known for his speed, this was very impressive by Harrison Jr.

Hopefully that was the first of many long scoring jaunts by Ohio State’s star receiver this season.

Can’t wait to see Carr in action for the Irish

As a quarterback, it’s not just about throwing to open receivers, it’s about anticipating receivers getting open and [autotag]Notre Dame[/autotag] commit [autotag]CJ Carr[/autotag] has shown those qualities.

In a recent tweet by Reel Analytics, an AI-powered sports tech and data company that analyzes video which measures athleticism, they highlighted a certain skill set of Carr’s.

The 6-foot, 3-inch and 195 pound Carr, who is ranked as the 6th best quarterback and 47th overall player in the country by the 247Sports composite, showed on tape elite instincts for seeing a receiver that hasn’t gotten open yet.

It’s an extremely important trait to possess and Irish fans should be extremely excited about that part of the skill set that Carr possesses. Check out the video below as Reel Analytics breaks down Carr’s anticipatory throwing skills.

Watch: Ohio State running back commit James Peoples runs over 20 miles per hour

🔥👟#GoBucks

Speed kills and for [autotag]Ohio State[/autotag] 2024 running back commit [autotag]James Peoples[/autotag], he’s got plenty of it.

The Texan is one of the top players in the country, ranking as the 5th best back and 79th overall player according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings. Part of the reason why Peoples is ranked so high is because of his elite speed.

The 5-foot, 10-inch, 190-pound running back was recently the focus of Reel Analytics, an AI-powered sports tech and data company that analyzes video to measure players’ athleticism. It clocked Peoples going a blazing fast 21 miles-per-hour.

By comparison in one of their other recent clips, former Alabama running back Jahmyr Gibbs was clocked at 22.3 MPH. That was with three years of college weight lighting and strength and conditioning under his belt.

If you weren’t excited about what Peoples will bring to Columbus, this should surely change your mind.
