SAN ANTONIO -- It’s hard to stand out in a crowd of roughly 500 prospects in a space as vast as the Alamodome, but ESPN Watch List defensive end Solomon Thomas (Coppell, Texas/Coppell) was able to on Friday.

“I felt good about everything but the 40,” Thomas said. “I felt my start wasn’t good. My first step was too short. I stood up too straight. But it’s OK my 40 time isn’t what matters against the competition anyway.”
