Lawrence-Nelson’s Thomas Ord Thomas Ord 5'7" | 155 lbs | LB/RB Lawrence-Nelson | 2027 State NE is the type of player you refer to as a gamer, as he can be plugged in anywhere on offense and plays like a buzzsaw on defense. Defensively, Ord tallied 63 tackles, three TFLs, two sacks, and two fumble recoveries (one returned fora TD). Ord also posted 135 rushing yards, 122 receiving yards, two rushing touchdowns, and a receiving touchdown on offense. My one-word takeaway from watching Thomas’ tape is: QUICK. Thomas is very twitchy and agile, which, combined with great field vision, makes him a threat to strike from anywhere. On offense, he is very dangerous when he can find a corner, as he has underrated speed that helps him outrun angles. On top of being quick, Thomas also has great balance when he runs, showing that his strong base allows him to absorb contact and stay on his feet. Defensively, I can see Thomas in a nickel role where he has the athleticism to keep up with receivers in coverage and is physical enough to help out against the run and be used in blitzes. Great sideline-to-sideline range. Don’t sleep on this 8-man prospect!
