While attending a district baseball game tonight, J.J. Pearce (Richardson) at Lake Highlands, I had my La. Tech cap on, and it caught the attention of a player and a fan, both from Pearce.
The player told me that one of the players on the baseball team is being recruited by La. Tech's football program. I found this out on Saturday (04/15), when Lake Highlands played at Pearce. The player is Jewlyen Thomas-Roberts a 6'4"/235-lb. tight end, who plays as a reserve outfielder. What a dude! I recall this guy from last year"s football game, when Lake Highlands played at Pearce, and Thomas-Roberts caught a screen pass and gained 50-60 yards. What a beast! He will be back on the football field in the fall of 2023.
The fan who inquired if I went to Tech, I replied "yes, I graduated in 1980, reside 1.5 miles from Lake Highlands HS, and have followed Lake Highlands' sports since 1993." The fan is the aunt of Thomas-Roberts and pointed me toward his mom. I chose to stay away due to the overflow crowd in the visitor's section. The aunt told me that her nephew has been receiving calls from someone in La. Tech's football program.
Rivals has a 0.0 rating for Thomas-Roberts. He has 14 offers this far, including Austin Peay, Jackson St, Kent St, LTU, ULM, McNeese St, Memphis, Sam Houston St, SMU, Texas Tech, Tulane, UNLV, UTSA, and Utah St. He visited Texas Tech on 03/24/23.
247Sports has Thomas-Roberts as a 3-star with 13 offers; same as Rivals but no mention of Utah St.
The aunt mentioned that her nephew has relatives on the La./Tx. line in the town of Jefferson (TX), west of Shreveport. The aunt added her nephew is all muscle, as you can see, with him in a baseball uniform.
Was Thomas-Roberts at Tech's Junior Day on March 18 and 25?
