That's interesting. I didn't even know that. Mention by the radio guys at UConn of Thomas was always followed by, "...first stepped onto a football field as a college sophomore."
This was mentioned religiously, almost like any mention of Matthew Slater must be followed by the words, "Son of Jackie Slater, NFL Hall of Famer."
NFLDraftScout isn't perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but they usually have their facts correct.
Such as Thomas red-shirting as a freshman in 2003 and being on the UCONN Scout team for 2003 and 2004.. Playing on special teams in 2005 and 2006, and then 2007 as a guard. On special teams he was a wedgebuster.. Which is pretty amazing to me.
That being said, I will email The guys over there and ask them about Thomas' background since it's clear that the HS doesn't have a football team.
