Tarence Thames
About Tarence
Expert Analysis
Will Helms | Prep Redzone Scout
Thames is just getting acclimated to his safety position after playing running back, receiver, and linebacker in the past. His length and athleticism lead me to believe he’s a future corner, but for now, he’s simply adjusting to the speed of the high school game. His speed, size, and explosive athleticism means he should succeed wherever the Heritage staff puts him.

Thames is an excellent athlete with plus size for his age. His hip fluidity and acceleration are obvious, so while he plays mostly as a free safety, I could see him eventually moving to corner. He’s a guy with the type of athleticism colleges love in a defensive back and whichever position he plays, he should be a stand out defender.

Read EvaluationAlan Popadines | Prep Redzone Scout
-High-cut and long-legged Running Back/Defensive Back combo out of North Carolina, with a lot to be excited about on the offensive side of the ball
-One of the better receiving Running Backs I’ve seen to this point in the class of 2028. Can catch and run to create plays at a high level
-Has good size right now at 5-foot-8 and 130-pounds. A long-strider who picks up speed as he runs in open field. Additional quick-twitch and acceleration should come with growth
