SCOUTING: Definitely one of the premier athletes in South Florida. Thomas is a talented line-from-scrimmage runner who is quick, strong and elusive. He was a huge factor for this program's improvement over the past year. Thomas is a solid back who has a tremendous burst and has the speed and skill level to take over a game. Another of his many talents also brings him out of the backfield to be a part of the passing game. As colleges have watched the past year, this is not a prospect who blends in, and when you see how much he does to give the Red Raiders an opportunity to succeed, you will understand why college coaches are keeping a close eye on his progress. In addition, many coaches believe that he has a chance to be one of the best return specialists around. He is that quick and that elusive. Keep your eye on this gifted prospect.
