Bo 30 for 30 reminded me of Gabe Poe from West Oktibbeha

Does anyone else remember this kid? He was an absolute athletic freak but tore his ACL in high school. I believe he took the opening kickoff for West Oktibbeha HS for a TD as an 8th grader. Anyway he was naturally freakishly fast and strong as an ox and I honestly thought he would end up in the NFL as a RB or LB.

After the injury he wasn't the same beast but still had a solid career at LB, 26 tackles in EMCC's championship game a few years back then fizzled out at West Alabama.

I also remember watching him play baseball which led me to the Bo comparison not just the injury because he would absolutely destroy a baseball and was an automatic two stolen bases every time on base.

Always wondered how far he could have gone because if anyone else remembers this kid pre-injury would know the raw talent, speed, and strength he had, a combination unlike any other I've ever seen.

Really? Nobody?

This kid was a tank (5-8 200 lbs) with lightning (sub 4.4) speed. Without the knee injury he would have been truly great. Most raw talent Ive ever seen. That nobody else knows of him is sad.
