Rudolph Ingram Jr. can run 100 meters in 13.48 seconds and is being called the “next Usain Bolt.”
He already has a nickname: Blaze the Great. He has been called “the next Usain Bolt,” and it may not be hyperbole. He has a growing Instagram following that just topped 300,000 and viral videos all over the place. He has football skills, too, and has drawn the attention of LeBron James and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, among others.
Oh, and he’s 7 years old.
It was his return to the track over the weekend that drew the latest round of attention to Rudolph Ingram Jr. The Tampa youngster, who said he began training when he was 4, left the competition in his wake, winning the 100-meter dash in 13.48 seconds — which would be a U.S. record for his age group.
