HASKELL — At 5-foot-7 and 155 pounds, Haskell senior Matthew Jimenez is undersized for a linebacker. But when you watch him run and see what he’s capable of in the weight room, it becomes apparent quickly why he’s the playmaker he is.
With 4.6 speed in the 40-yard dash and a three-lift powerlifting total of 1,175 pounds, Jimenez is simply an outstanding athlete.
Add in a ceaseless work ethic, an infectious intensity and an earnest desire for knowledge and coaching, and you have a player that the Haskell staff wishes it could clone.
