The Aberdeen Roncalli Cavaliers currently have our LB3 in our 2027 class in Jean Anthony-Thomas Jean Anthony-Thomas 5'8" | 195 lbs | LB Aberdeen Roncalli | 2027 State SD who has already won a Linebacker MVP at our Prep Redzone Dakotas Showcase and was a top performer in Sioux Falls as just a freshmen a couple years back. For his size, I have been impressed with how quick Jean has become getting off his blocks for a 5’9 190 pounder as you can tell when you watch his 2025 tape how far he’s come with getting great positioning and hand placement to progress into the backfield. He shows you in pass coverage that he’s developed nicely in that skill area as well, getting in and around the pass-catcher prior to them even knowing the ball is headed their way with his instincts. He also shows that he can be progressively as a run-stopper in the A-gap as Jean flashes as a linebacker that is constantly playing downhill. He also shows off the strength throwing the shotput at nearly 47 feet as just a junior.
