Jeff Thomas

The All-American receiver provided the most dramatic moment of the postseason in the Flyers 32-28 victory over Glenbard North in the IHSA Class 7A playoffs last Saturday.

Thomas made a leaping catch for the game-winning touchdown with three seconds left in the game to give the Flyers the comeback victory. Thomas finished the game with eight receptions for 210 yards and two touchdowns.

For the season, Thomas had 44 receptions for 867 yards and 10 touchdowns. A five-star prospect, he is being recruited by several of the top college programs in the country.

East St. Louis (11-0) will visit Willowbrook in the Class 7A state quarterfinals this weekend.
