The Football Brainiacs

Tulsa Memorial standout 2017 DE/OLB Isaiah Thomas became the most recent member of the Sooners’ 2017 class when he made his commitment to the University of Oklahoma official.

While many an OU fan had anticipated Thomas’ commitment, there were several other schools that made a legitimate push in recent months. However, the winning tradition at Oklahoma and a chance to stay in-state, close to family and friends, ultimately won out for OU.

We’ve featured Thomas on TFB many times, but for those who may need a quick refresher check out his film below.

As evidenced in his film, Thomas is a big, dynamic athlete capable of quickly getting up the field and creating havoc in the backfield. Playing with his hand in the dirt, or standing up, you see him move fluidly out in space making plays five, sometimes ten yards down the field.

In addition to his raw athleticism and versatility, at 6’5″ 230+ Thomas already has the size Oklahoma is now looking for in front seven prospects and the frame to easily add good weight once he’s in a D-I strength program.

Needless to say a solid addition to OU’s 2017 class, whose momentum train just keeps on rollin’ right along.
