Here’s what you need to know from Thursday’s media viewing during University of Miami football practice:
u25aa Speedy and talented slot receiver Jeff Thomas, a 5-10, 180-pound sophomore out of East St. Louis High School, was not practicing during our 15 minutes of viewing. Thomas, instead, was on a conditioning bike.
We’re speaking to receivers coach Ron Dugans after practice, but not sure if he’ll comment on that.
Thomas, also a kick returner, played in all 13 games last season, with four starts, including the Capital One Orange Bowl. He caught 17 passes for 374 yards and two touchdowns.
