Gregory-Portland LB LaChristian Thomas

[CalallenStang]

Don't have a Scout subscription so I can't see if we are in on this kid or not. Would be a great addition for us at LB if we can get him.

UTEP Scout site says SMU has offered.

6'4" 225, runs a 4.6

Apparently many are recruiting him as a tight end.

Offers from us, Ole Miss, Colorado State, UTEP and Cougar High.

FWIW, Here is what Dave Campbell's mag had on him:

LB Thomas (67 tackles, 6 TFL, 4 sacks) will also play TE this year and "should shine," Harris said.

The Harris in question is Gregory-Portland coach George Harris, who tends to run a Wing-T style offense. That program, over the past few years, has produced a bit of D-1 talent (which is fairly uncommon in the Corpus area), with RB Connell Davis (Missouri) and DL Victor Brooks (Rice) coming to my mind.

very interesting prospect if those height, weight and speed numbers are true

Is there a reason he would not even be listed in Rivals?

I haven't seen him play since his sophomore year. Back then, I would say that he was 6'3" 210 and ran a 4.6 or so. He didn't have much of a team around him that year...I think they went 4-6 and, uncharacteristically for that program, missed the playoffs.

Here is a quote from the Scout article.

Thomas said his top five would definatley have Kansas at the top, followed by SMU
UTEP, Ole Miss, and Colorado

You can get an idea of this kid's size in this pic...he is #14 (red) in the background

I'll try to look for more pics.[/img]

A slightly more close-up pic...holding on the white team probably kept him from making this tackle:

I was just thinking that with this kid's frame he might be able to grow into a pretty good DL.

No spell check on that site?
