is without a doubt the top defensive tackle prospect coming out of this 2023 class. Committed and signed with Vanderbilt, Thomas is an absolute brute along the line of scrimmage and we think that his ceiling continues to get higher and higher. As a junior, Thomas also spent time along the offensive side of the line of scrimmage. As a senior, Thomas was strictly along the defensive line and as he continued to trim up and keep that same strength and burst, he became more of a problem for opposing offensive linemen. Thomas plays with a mean streak that will fit in with the SEC.

. At least for now. Thomas has been an absolute freak along the line of scrimmage for Union for the last few seasons and he’s one of the leaders of a defense that is absolutely loaded at all three levels. And here’s what’s scary about Thomas moving forward, he’s getting better every time he steps on the field. Thomas has shed some weight and trimmed up while keeping that power and explosion that makes him so tough to stop in 1 on 1 situations. Committed to Vanderbilt, Thomas has to be excited about going on to the next level to play in the SEC.

One of the bigger keys for Union coming into this match-up will be their play along the line of scrimmage. With Jenks’ offensive line potentially having four of their five starters out again on Friday, that’s bad news as they try to slow down a Union defensive line that is headlined by Vanderbilt commit and one of the top defensive linemen in the state with

. The Union standout led a Union front seven that was outstanding in week one against Broken Arrow and their rushing attack. Thomas is an absolute bull up front and if Jenks is still having injury problems and have to put new starters in, Thomas is a player that is very tough to game plan for. Regardless of the injuries, Thomas is still one of the top overall players in the match-up and should have a major impact on this game.

. The Union big man has been an absolute force in the middle of the line of scrimmage over the last few seasons. He’s even an excellent offensive lineman but his future is brightest on defense, where he’s one of the top prospects at his position and has already committed to Vanderbilt. Thomas and the Redhawk defense absolutely dominated in week zero as they went up against a struggling Westmoore squad. They now shift their attention to their first road game of the year when they travel and face Broken Arrow. The Tigers lost in week zero but still put up nearly 50 points and the rushing attack was outstanding. Thomas and the Union front seven will need to be on their A-game in order to slow down the Tigers and the multiple running backs they’ll unleash.
