Jay Thomas is one of the best free safeties we have encountered thus far at Scout Trout, as he has exceptional athletics and is able to get to the ball very quickly, while enforcing his will on a offense. When seen at receiver, after a bone crushing hit, Thomas is seen in the screen passing attack and makes a breathtaking run, as he is able to find the 5th cutback lane, that me and Coach P talked about on my radio show. Thomas is a excellent return man and I could most certainly see him back deep when he arrives on the scene in big time college football. Creeping up in the box, at around 1:05 into his film, Thomas can be seen shooting the gap and makes a perfect form tackle for a loss. With Jay's height at the defensive back position, he reminds me of the Seattle Seahawks Kam Chancellor in the way he plays the game of football and with added muscle/weight, he very well could wind up playing on Sunday's, as he shows the skill needed to produce big plays for a defense and/or offense. I have yet to see this outstanding of a tackler in the defensive backfield this season, as seen at 1:38, as Thomas completely unearths the defender, by making yet another perfect "lever killing" tackle, which puts the ball carrier flat on his back. Jay can line up pretty much anywhere for you on offense and you can see his versatility in the slot, as he is able to catch a beautiful throw up the seam for a touchdown, at around 2:25 into this stellar highlight. Players like Thomas are all-around football players, which Scout Trout truly covets. You will see Thomas take a onside kick nearly to the house and is able to make defenders look silly, as they appear to be on ice skates with his stellar agility that he possesses and a full arsenal of moves. At 3:35, Thomas is able to deliver the All-Madden "Truck Stick" and annihilate the defender in his path. The route seen at 3:40, shows me Jay can also be a elite wide receiver, as he runs a perfect corner route in the red zone, as he is able to push his receiver inside and break to the corner precisely, so his Quarterback can deliver the ball for yet another touchdown for Thomas. Thomas shows immense focus two plays later, as he is able to catch a ball with his outstretched arms, after he tips the ball to himself and then is able to absorb a hard hit and bounce right off to keep the pigskin moving downfield. The next play, he shows uncanny ability to get his feet down, while focusing on the football through immense traffic, which is just one of the many reasons we have selected Jay Thomas for our Scout Trout All-American Class of 2018 Bowl in Prichard, Alabama! We will be playing the same weekend as the NFL Reese's Senior Bowl and we are truly appreciative that our host state will have 16 players represented to take on the almighty team north and the legendary coaches that Scout Trout has acquired, through simply studying their methods and watching the young men they coach flourish on the gridiron. Team South has three of the best coaches in the south, as far as builders of athletes and most of all MEN! Coach Reid (Tampa Bay Bucs/Bandits) was our newest coach we have added to our now elite coaching staff and you can check them out on the Bowl Info/Practice tab, which I will link below. The road to the Scout Trout All-American Bowl and The NFL Reese's Senior Bowl has been up and down battle, as we have arrived as a major threat to many in the game. If you know anything about Scout Trout, we would love to have you join us, as the saying goes, if you can't beat them, you mine as well join them! I am extremely pleased with the roster set forth and I want to thank all the members from Team North that will be joining this week! See you all in Alabama and I look forward to watching you all battle it out in practice and take the field one last time to end your historic high school careers in one of the most historic venues in the deep south! Welcome to the CITY OF CHAMPIONS!
