Rebel DB Deante Purvis timed at 4.31 in the forty
UNLV head football coach Mike Sanford has put a strong emphasis on improving team speed in both off-season conditioning and recruiting and it appears to be paying off.
Sophomore corner Deante Purvis had an average time of 4.31 during forty-yard dash drills this week including several under 4.3. Linebacker Nate Carter of Las Vegas High School lowered his forty from 4.79 to 4.65 and 6-foot-5 wide receiver Rodelin Anthony turned in an impressive 4.57 clocking.
If the Rebels keep this up, I’m going to lobby for strength and conditioning coach John Grieco to get a raise.
Spring football drills begin on Monday afternoon at Rebel Park.
