Our third Totino-Grace Eagle on the list, 6’4, 260 lb. senior DL and Northern Iowa commit Theo Thomas Theo Thomas 6'4" | 260 lbs | DL Totino-Grace | 2025 State MN is the easy choice for Minnesota’s Top 2025 Stock Riser, as he’s the only senior from MN to earn an in-season P4 offer in 2024. In late September, the UNI commit was offered by the Iowa State Cyclones, currently the Associated Press #10 ranked team in the nation. His first P4 offer, Thomas is looking solid with the FCS heavyweight Northern Iowa, and I got to see the standout defensive lineman live and in-person during Totino-Grace’s last-minute win over fellow 4A heavyweight Orono. A can’t-miss, colossal high school senior playing both DL and TE for the Eagles, Thomas showed some pop as a pass rusher, bringing down Orono’s QB on a big-time third down sack, and he was also a physical blocker who didn’t mind getting dirty in the trenches on offense as well.

The senior year regular season highlights shows a positionally versatile OL can play all around the LOS and is physically overwhelming at the point of attack against 4A OL. Thomas displays effective and sometimes dominant power rushes, as well as some twitch off the snap, getting blockers to overthink, lunge, and come into contact already out of position. The 260 lber. closes quickly for a big guy, uses an impressive chop/rip through contact, does a good job of consistently working flat down the LOS off the edge, and he hits like a truck when he makes contact off a full head of steam, has a rep of him of stonewalling a RB – who was coming in hot – like they ran into a brick wall. That big, that powerful, that twitchy, and that fast, no wonder the Cyclones came calling.
