College Football Signing Day is tomorrow…with that in mind let’s take a look at some of the most explosive recruits.  We’ll look at the Top 50 recruits’ long jump and triple jump performances in high school.  Those performance numbers can tell us a lot as the explosive ability indicated by these events tends to transfer to the football field. 

There are quite a few recognizable names on these lists starting with the top long jumper, USC’s Adoree Jackson.  Additional big names include…Charles Nelson (Oregon), Speedy Noil (Texas A&M), Malachi Dupre (LSU), James Washington (OK State), Artavis Scott (Clemson), Samaje Perine (Oklahoma) and even Tyler Murphy (Florida QB transfer to Boston College).  All data compiled, authenticated and organized by TrackingFootball.com.
