Last season, he finished with 2,679 total passing yards and 38 touchdowns, and it looks like this fall is on track for a repeat performance. Not only is Thomas very accurate, he is also a good dual-threat who can run and make plays with his legs. He does not currently hold any offers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1845589"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68bee0ffcf8ed"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1845589' first='Carter' last='Bellisari'] is continuing to prove himself as one of the better prospects in central Ohio as the defending state champions roll on to a 3-0 record, this time with a decisive 38-0 win over Westerville North. Bellisari is a good route runner and comes off the LOS with good burst and acceleration. In just the first half last week, he recorded 4 catches for 120 yards receiving and one touchdown.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1695789"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68bee0ffcf942"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">In a victory over Fairborn, wide receiver [player_tooltip player_id='1695789' first='Will' last='Strong'] put together an outstanding performance.
