'08 OH RB/LB Devoe Torrence (Akron signee, transfer to ??)

[akronbuck]

Wasn't impressed with either Devoe or his brother last season. Hopefully Devoe has a monster season at Massillon.

canton south, only has a few players that could even play for Massillon or Mckinley.

Filim at RB and LB.

Devoe is going to be a great RB for us. He has a knack for breaking tackles and has a nice cut and burst of speed. Great potential at the position.

Another report from Winslow:

DeVoe ran a 4.55 in basketball shoes today at the Pitt Combine...

Why would he wear basketball shoes?

Why would he wear basketball shoes?

why not? but, i really expected him to run in golf spikes to make some noise...

Because they're heavier and bulkier than running shoes or track shoes.

So people will post questions about why he ran in basketball shoes.

Click-clack! (I think they hear us comin'...)

4.55 in non-track shoes is smokin'...

 

[OregonBuckeye]

...Anyway, what type of surface did he run on(grass, turf, track)?

 

[bengals07]

He is a great athlete. My son was there and felt he and Woods were the best there along with C. Scott.

 

[crazybuckfan40]

My guess is that he doesnt run track, so he doesnt have track spikes, and he might of forgot his football cleats...

Field turf

Yeah he just forgot them... here are the shoes he wore yesterday (I guess they were athletic shoes but they didn't look ideal for speed):

Above pic: In the previous rep, Torrence toasted him inside and Hale demanded an immediate rematch. Shayne tried to get physical at the line and Torrence smoked him instantly.

Not that Devoe is any less impressive, but his shoes are Nike Air Max 360 which are "running" shoes, but they are definitely the same as cleats in terms of traction.
