Report: As you can see, the recruiting services are pretty high on Thomas (who was once an OU commit). However, he did have a tough junior year on top of being suspended for several weeks. His stats weren't as good last year and the video of him as a sophomore was more impressive than that of his junior year. While I think the potential is there to be great his senior year, it was hard for me to really gauge Thomas. Having said that, below are my thoughts:
Thomas is another back that does a little bit of everything. At 5'11/210, he's got nice size for a back. He keeps his legs going and picks up several yards after contact. Although he isn't necessarily quick, he can effectively change direction and is very smooth at it. He doesn't have great speed, but I see him as more of a between-the-tackles back in Stillwater, so he doesn't need speed as much as power. As I stated above, in the end, I couldn't get a very good read on Thomas, and I think his senior year will be more indicative of the player he'll be in the future.
