This guy has Hilliard as the #20 full back next year.

Check out the 40 time.

4.76? Ouch. Didn't Lulay run about that time?
I doubt that time is very accurate. In the open field, he can run away from people.


Montana State IS what "they" think Montana is.

Didn't he get caught from behind in the Cat/Griz game last year? I remember wondering about his speed because I had always heard he was a very fast runner. Maybe my memory is a bit wrong on this.

You are right. He got chased down after he broke a pretty big run. He actually got chased down twice; once by Epi King, and another by Ryan Force.

I'm not sure how fast Lex is, but being chased down in a swamp is probably not a very good indicator either. No slam meant, the cats were the better team that day. :cry:

Lex WAS fast in high school but I think he's bulked up too much now to be able to run away from a decent LB or any DB.


Grizzlies: 2-5 when it matters most

Agreed. I didn't think of that off the top of my head, but that is very good logic as to why/if he has lost any speed.

Well - as we all know, Epi is the fastest Cat, and Ryan is top 3 or 4 if memory serves. Lex ran away from all the ISU players in Poky - and he went about 80 yds.

Well those ISU players might have been weighed down by some extra "baggage" if you know what I mean. :lol: :wink:
