Coaches will always tell you that you can’t teach speed and Gunter Brewer won’t have to worry about that with Zavian Thomas. Thomas is a 3-star receiver from Louisiana who has reportedly run sub-4.4 in the forty-yard dash three different times this summer. At LSU’s camp, he reportedly ran a 4.32 and he reportedly ran a 4.35 and 4.30 during his visit to Memphis.
At 5-11/188, Thomas has more size than some of the other speedy “slot-type” receivers Lousiville has targeted. He’s about the same size as Jordan Watkins who UofL has played on the outside more often than not.
