Arizona Football commit Rayshon “Speedy” Luke runs 10.32 100m
WALNUT, CA – Taking part in the Mt. Sac Track Invitational, Arizona Football commit the “Speedy” Rayshon Luke ran an impressive 10.32 100-meters.
The 2022 season may be just around the corner for Arizona Football, and incoming running back Rayshon Luke (aka “Speedy”) is continuing to make preparations before coming to Tucson, all while living up to his nickname.
Everyone knows Rayshon to be a great athlete and running back that is committed to the Wildcats in the class of 2022. However, what some may not know is that he is a terrific track and field athlete as well.
Making news this past weekend at the Mt. Sac Track Invitational hosted in Walnut, California, a few of the states’ top high schools and athletes were in attendance and competing. In attendance for St. John Bosco High School was Rayshon.
Taking part in several events, Luke proved why he is considered to be one of the best athletes in the state; however, he turned a lot of heads in the 100-meter race.
Living up to his Twitter moniker of “_doughboyspeedy”, Rayshon showed off his blazing speed, running a blistering 10.32 en route to becoming the state’s new leader in the event.
As Rayshon Luke comes to Tucson, he is going to give Arizona Football tremendous athleticism out of the backfield.
Coming in at 5-feet-8-inches and 175 pounds, Rayshon is a bit smaller in stature; however, this is a kid that possesses big playmaking ability!
He played for St. John Bosco, a powerhouse football program in the state of California, and these past few years he has made himself known as being a bit of a speedster out of the backfield.
In 10 games this season, Rayshon rushed for 944 yards and 10 touchdowns on 76 carries (12.4 yards per carry) according to Maxpreps.
He is quick, elusive, and agile and makes people miss with ease. He can burst out of the backfield and turn on the burners to make smaller runs into bigger ones! He is also a very capable pass-catcher out of that backfield that can be used on bubble screens and wheel routes.
Rayshon further displayed his tremendous skillset at the Army All-American Bowl this past January where he ran for two touchdowns and was named the games’ MVP.
