Astros' Caleb Thomas Kicks Off Power 4 Era
Pinkerton Academy's Caleb Thomas, a Class of 2027 kicker, made headlines this offseason with a Power 4 offer, the first from his program. Thomas' impressive leg was on full display during the Astros' spring showcase, where he drilled a 55-yard field goal with ease. The 6-foot-1, 170-pound specialist has been honing his craft at summer camps, including a recent stint at the prestigious NHIAA Kicking Combine. Thomas' accuracy and leg strength have drawn comparisons to top-level kickers in the region. While the NHIAA is a Texas-based organization, Thomas' achievement is a testament to the growing talent pool in New Hampshire high school football. As the Astros prepare for their upcoming season, scouts will be keeping a close eye on Thomas' performance, particularly his ability to consistently hit from beyond 50 yards and his ability to navigate game-pressure situations. With his Power 4 offer, Thomas has set the bar high for himself and his teammates, and he'll be under the microscope as the season unfolds.
