5. Rich Thomas, WR, 1974
According to an article by Bill Betterton in the Arizona Daily Star, the six-foot Rich Thomas wasn’t even considering football as a sophomore in 1971 until coach Larry Hart recruited him midseason to come out and play. Thomas went on to be an All-State wide receiver in both seasons he started and was a crucial piece in the Caballeros back-to-back state runner-up teams in 1972 and 1973.
