What makes you stand out as a future collegiate athlete?

I’ve been playing on the line, offense/defense since I was in the 4th grade with success. I have a true knowledge of the game and truly embraces it. I love playing football and I’m a leader on the field. I assist my team on and off to field and work hard as a team member to be successful. I am truly looking forward to playing on the next level…

Thomas is an experience lineman, who does a great job of fighting on each play. He shows urgency at the point of attack, and I really like how quickly he pops out his stance. He sent a pretty solid 2020 DT flying this year and several other young lineman with decent size, so his raw power at the point of attack is there. Sometimes he blocks too high, looks like his hamstrings are tight. He shows a lot of versatility run and pass blocking. He does a great job of moving his feet with the defender and I really like how he doesn’t give up on a single play, which results in some massive blocks from the backside. Thomas has gone up against top quality competition, and his junior film shows versatility sliding across the line. His body type suggest OG would be the best fit, especially for FBS schools. I would like to see him be more consistent with hand placement and leverage he gets while blocking, but make no mistake, the 2019 recruit does a ton right, and opens up some massive holes for his team. Weight lifting numbers are from last fall and he has put on 20 pounds since then.
