That 10 flat 100 meters he supposedly ran in a track meet in ROYCE CITY is either a typo or a hand held time. I believe 10.58 and 4.39 forty time but a 10 flat out 100 meters is highly doubtful.
Hard to say really. But there must be plenty of speed. For a 3 star recruit to have the list of offers he has is real good. They are deep and from some of the top football factories in CFB. Somebody knows some things about this kid. We'll see how it all plays out. Welcome aboard.
Those meets in Royse City are handheld times. So the clock might of said 10.0, but Im pretty sure that is inaccurate.
Jackson Webb was the fastest kid on the team last year and he was 10.42. Won the Big 12 60m
So this kid will be right there with Tre Brown
So this kid will be right there with Tre Brown
just looked up his track times with athletic.net, shows as a soph. he ran 10.86, junior 10.58. Long jump 22'3.5", and triple jump 43'1".
Of course.....and he can pat his head and rub his belly at the same time, while juggling.
I didn't remember that Mike had passed. First time I saw him was in a JV game against Plano's JV. Greenville was up 48-7 not yet in the 4th quarter. I went home early. He was pretty good.
I'm pretty sure Mike Thomas wasn't OUr last recruit from Greenville. I'm going to do a little more research. Greenville used to have a pretty good football program.
In the late 70's, there was a defensive lineman from Greenville. Richard Murray?

Post edit:
There was one more big guy from Greenville after Murray, in the early 80s, Elbert Graham. He was a senior OT in 1982.

Mike died in August last year after a long battle with cancer. I met Mike in 1977 while he was still playing for Washington. We stayed in contact and after his NFL days we became very close friends. We attended many OU games over the years. Switzer told Mike that cutting his scholly when he took over from Fairbanks was one of the biggest mistakes he ever made. Mike stayed in contact with Port Robertson and Rod Shoate though his life. I got to know his brothers, Jimmy (49ers) and Earl (Bears, Cards & Oilers). pretty well and attended many sporting events in Houston with the Thomas brothers. Earl died two weeks ago in Houston.
