Former
ECHS Standout Continues to Excel |
 |
Tramain
Thomas, a 2008 graduate of ECHS, continues to excel in athletics. As a
safety at the University of Arkansas, Thomas has seen considerable playing
time. Coach Bobby Petrino "loves the way Thomas pulls the trigger on a hit
and tackles high and with great form." The safety position has concerned Coach Petrino for some time, and he is optimistic about the 1st year safeties Tramain
Thomas and Jerico Nelson.
Coaches
Valastro and Cauthern attended a clinic at U of A and had the opportunity to
speak with Petrino regarding Thomas and watch Tramain at practice. |
