RB signee Kane Nwangwu is going to state in 2 events in TX. 6'11 High jump and 24'2 long jump...I guess he might be a decent athlete

6'11" high jump is elite. Kid must be a great athlete.

24'+ long jump is nothing to be ashamed about either.

Wasn't he a stud sprinter as well? I figured he would make it in the 100/200

I had heard 10.7 100 earlier this year, but I haven't heard recently

Found a site online that has his PR as a 10.54cw. Not sure what cw means, but 10.5 is really fast.

10.54 is his PR. Making it to state in Texas is very hard. Only 8 kids make it, for comparison, 24 make it to state in Iowa.

Also for comparison, 10.54, 6-11 and 24-2 would all be the state leaders in Iowa this spring.

Is his last name prnounced Bras skee

Most likely:
c=converted from hand timing
w=wind-aided

He actually leads the country in the long jump. http://www.milesplit.com/rankings/leaders/high-school-boys/outdoor-track-and-field?year=2016

DyeStat/Athletic.net has him T-14th in long jump:

Crazy, I knew AJ epenEsa was leading in discus but should be know about kene! That's a good get for ISU track!

 

[IAStubborn]

Says on mile split his PR this season is 10.49 in the hundred (not wind aided) and 22 seconds in the 200. Dude does it all. Also a triple jumper.

Excited to see Kene run the rock at Iowa State. His high school highlights are great plus it seems like his ceiling is really high.

 

[CyInDFW]

Kid is a stud athlete, give him a year to RS and get a little stronger then let him loose.

 

[Cycsk]

Man, this guy could just go right over the line for short yardage any time he wants!

 

[TheJackWePack5]

Seems like a very explosive athlete. Give him a year to get to about 200 pounds (much like Mike Warren RS year) and he could be a stud. Excited about him.

It would not surprise me to see Kene Nwangwu playing at the "M" back position. (The position that they recruited DeShontae Jones to play.)

That would be fun to watch. I also think Deshontae is going to be very solid, glad to see we're getting great athletes, as well as solid football players. Can't wait to see what they bring to the field!

Wouldn't suprise me to see him play corner. He's Jeremy Reeves athletically--with height.
