Falcons Dip into Western Pennsylvania, D-End makes soft verbal

Bryan Thomas of Washington High School  (suburban Pittsburgh) has made a verbal commitment to the Falcons.  At 6'4" 230, he played TE and DE in HS, but the article linked here says he was recruited to play defensive end.  Sounds like he might project to the line or LB---and he might make an intriguing choice at FB, too.

Lots to like here.  When the team was without a coach, he essentially ran the team's off-season workout program until a coach was hired.  You have to like the sound of that.

He was named to the local Elite 11.  I have no idea what the means exactly, but it sounds like an honor.

Their HS nickname is the Prexies which I love.

One warning.  This appears to be a soft verbal, and he says he wants to look at some colleges and maybe West Virginia might be interested.

I love it when we get players from the Pittsburgh area.  Those guys are raised to be football players, and they produce tons of D-1 players every year.
