There's track speed, and then there's football speed. On the track, 2014 recruit Joe Mixon runs a personal best 10.92 in the 100M, but when you see him in pads it makes you ask yourself whether or not he's faster on the field.

Mixon has a nose for the endzone and gets there by any means necessary with the ball in his grasp. CLA spoke with the nation's top high school running back who currently holds 38 official scholarship offers.

"The ones I was most excited about were Georgia, Florida, Wisconsin, Ole Miss, Florida State, Oklahoma, Texas A&M, USC and UCLA," Mixon told CLA Sports.

Running back Joe Mixon of Freedom High School (Calif.) has been one of the hottest names recently and for good reason. The 2014 graduate took to the Army All-American combine over the weekend and impressed everyone that saw him.

Measuring at 6-foot-1 and 201 lbs., Mixon ran a 4.68 40-yard dash and jumped 33 inches on his vertical. His performance paid off as he received another offer, this time from Utah.
