Thomas Pulliam Thomas Pulliam 5'11" | 170 lbs | DB St Dominic | 2024 State MO solidified himself as the best player on either side of the ball from the very beginning of this game and didn’t look back. He had a very impressive game out of the backfield, running the ball 22 times for 253 yards and four touchdowns. Pulliam showed impressive speed, bursting through the running lane and breaking away for long runs. Once he hit the open field, he showed the elusiveness and contact balance to make defenders miss without breaking stride. He also caught one pass for 21 yards. Pulliam also played a role on defense at safety, showing the ability to come downhill and provide support against the run. He finished the game with five tackles. Thomas currently holds offers from Benedictine College and Southwest Baptist, and I expect more to come his way as he has the talent to play on either side of the ball at the next level.

A breakout star from last year who thrusted himself into the conversation as one of the best players in the state, Thomas Pulliam Thomas Pulliam 5'11" | 170 lbs | DB St Dominic | 2024 State MO is a pure athlete that can tuhe tide of a game from anywhere on the field. An all-conference nominee in his first year of varsity at strong safety, the rising senior out of St. Dominic High can stuff the run or pick off a pass. He is physical in coverage while still being able to run stride-for-stride with any vertical threat an opponent has. If Pulliam needs to make a stop, he is great at breaking down and wrapping up, which is especially important for him considering his position is usually one of the last lines of defense. At 6 feet tall and 185 pounds, he has been working hard to beef up in the weight room so far this offseason, and the extra strength he’ll gain from this should only serve to sharpen his already superb skillset.
