Zachariah Branch has taken the football world by storm with his speed and skill. This freshman is a wide receiver at the University of South Carolina, but his claim to fame is his speed.
Zachariah has clocked in at 26 miles per hour while running on a treadmill!
To put that into perspective, Usain Bolt, one of the fastest people in the world, reached 27.33 mph during a race. Zachariah Branch is putting up a solid fight!
This hilarious video compares Zachariah’s speed to the speed of some well-known animals, including an elephant, a capybara, and a reindeer. Zachariah was surprised to find out some of the animals he could outrun!
Some of the comments pointed out a few other funny realities of running that fast.
“Bro can speed in a residential on foot,” said one commenter, pointing out that Zachariah can run over 25 mph.
Another commenter did the math to figure out how quickly Zachariah could run a mile.
“2.3 minute mile is crazy.” Many athletic runners shoot for six or even eight-minute-miles. 2.3 minutes per mile is absolutely nuts!
