JJ Watt comparisons aside, Solomon Thomas is very talented. He looks strong and athletic enough to excel in odd or even fronts.
You forgot about Ndamukong Suh and Lawrence Taylor.
I really like Thomas. Heck, I like Stanford in general. They tend to win bets for me. I wish I could be wagering on their women's swimming team right now. I did win on their volleyball team against Texas a month or so ago. Small underdog in the title match.
