'05 PA OL Morgan Thomas (East Stroudsburg University signee)
MarshCreek claims this PA lineman likes Ohio State. In an Insiders update he mentioned how he loves Ohio State and is listed as having High Interest. Hopefully he camps here so the coaches can check him out.
This is a picture of him as a sophomore(#74)

I'll add more info as I find it or I'm sure Buckskin86 will.
Edit: He was on the 2003 Pennsylvania Preseason All State Team

Nutty- looks like you have it covered pretty well- here is a quick blurb I found
Quote:
|
Morgan Thomas, Parkland, Sr., 6-3, 305: Led Trojans offensive line that helped running backs average 5.53 yards per carry and gain more than 2,700 yards.

Sounds like he has some experience run blocking and that is what he seems to like about tOSU

How is he rated in the state (top 10 or 20 overall? Top 5 OL?)... what is his speed, and how are his feet?

I think it's a little too early to see where he'll be rated this year. Rivals doesn't have him in the database and the Insiders does but there is no 40 time listing or write up on his footwork. I suppose there will be more info after the various Nike camps and camps over the summer.
Here is another article I found where he was listed on the PA Supreme Team along with Skinner, Mitchum, Greg Harrison, and Dave Weber. He was the only junior of the group.
Devon Lyons and Rory Nicol also made first team.

What a difference a year makes. Last year at this time, no one thought we had a shot at any top Pennsylvania prospects. This year, we should be major players for guys like Thomas. I'm sure guys like Nicol, Skinner and Mitchum will be kick ass recruiters for us in the years to come.

According the latest Rivals update Thomas' favorite is Ohio State but he's not hearing from the Buckeyes as much as he would like.
