seems big for TE


say what? 6'6" 225 seems kind of skinny for a blocker. that's more what you want from a qb rather than an o-lineman.

Has the potential size of David Lafleur but with more athleticism.

my thoughts exactly... a freind of mine that coaches in that area said the same, except he believes Thomas will be much bigger

speaking of Nic Jacobs.

Someone said that he is a beast in his practice vids.

Is he catching the ball or is he a blocking TE?

FWIW. My brother coaches at airline and he said he has so much potential, but he is Very Lazy.

Airline alum. Stoked for the kid.

Airline just recently traded a veer offense for a spread (lucky for this kid). Talk about over due. Plus they have a brand new head coach from Calvary Baptist in Shreveport, so you may see his numbers inflate even more during his senior year.

He's clearly an athlete. A tight end that caught 30 passes fr 575 yards in a new offense? Impressive to me that a kid that big can average almost 20 ypc. And he was probably one of the only pass options.

No intention to hate on the kid, but I used to LOVE his white (and soul-less) brother on the Muppet Show.

Very is an understatement. He has all the talent in the world and only goes all out when he knows he is getting the ball. Never really blocked anyone. I played against him this year and he had a couple flashes of greatness. I'm sure he will turn out just fine. Best of luck to him.
