In football, speed kills. But at Miami, you’re supposed to be fast. The Hurricanes lived up to this expectation and got a premier deep threat when Jeff Thomas committed back in 2017. A 4-star receiver from the state of Illinois, Thomas was the 40th best player and 5th best receiver in the class. He was also regarded as one of the fastest, recording a 4.38 40-yard dash in high school. It seemed like the ceiling for Thomas was to be a Phillip Dorsett-type; a field-stretching vertical threat who could be a no. 1 receiver but still had limits at just 5’10” and 170 pounds.
