Duquesne (PA) 5-11, 215-pound running back Shane Brooks has worked hard this off-season to improve his speed. Originally clocking consistently at a 4.6 in the 40 yard dash, Brooks has shaved some time off his 40 just before the start of his senior season.
“I’m down to a 4.50,” Brooks said. “I haven’t done anything different. I’m just running a lot. I run 3 times a week and work-out with the team 3 times a week. I have lost a couple of pounds. I’m at 215 right now. I didn’t have to lose weight to make myself quicker. I’m fast with or without the weight.”
