    9) Hold your horses . He’s been lighting up against lesser competition in these 7 x7 tournaments- sure amazing stats like 24 TDs and 0 interceptions- but that’s not going to draw the interest of Ohio State or Michigan
    He is more like lower level power 5 and he has offers from UNLV , Purdue and Arkansas . According to AI , not on the Buckeye radar
    UNLV is his best shot .
    From T. Peterson: The information I was given is it has drawn their interest and the schools mentioned are recruiting him.

    This Orange QB Star Thomas III is 6′ even and 192 pounds. That physical makeup is what the best running backs possess. True to the numbers, this guy is a dual threat. If he were a couple inches taller, he’d be the complete package, but as he stands, I can at least see why Orange beat St Paul in the Battle for the SVG passing tourney.
