After transferring from Ironwood Ridge, Jordan Thomas is expected to be one of CDO's — and Southern Arizona's — top playmakers this fall.
Justin Spears Editor’s note: The Star is counting down the top high school football players in Tucson. Up next: Canyon del Oro two-way star Jordan Thomas. Rundown: Thomas is a 5-foot-10-inch, 175-pound senior running back and cornerback.
Due to Arizona Interscholastic Association's transfer rules, Thomas will have to sit out the first five games of this season, and will return Oct. 14 for the Dorados' contest at Douglas. “I think we can make some noise with that guy who’s a bruiser, then give the ball to a kid who can go 90 ," said Dorados head coach Dustin Peace."That’s going to be a game-changer for us.
Last season, Peace's Dorados defeated Ironwood Ridge 26-22 and held Thomas to 41 yards on eight carries. The Dorados see a different, much better version of Thomas in practice. So far, everything has gone according to plan for Thomas as he prepares for his final high school football season. During offseason 7-on-7 tournaments earlier this summer, Thomas was the Dorados’ top performer at wide receiver and cornerback.
