Five-star Arkansas signee Meleek Thomas had a stellar senior year, from being named to the upcoming Jordan Brand Classic to leading the City Reapers to the Overtime Elite Finals. However, one of his biggest highlights this year was his appearance at the McDonald's All-American Game in New York City on April 1.
The OTE star shared photos of himself suiting up for the winning West squad in the annual high school all-star game.
"Enjoying the journey," Thomas wrote in his latest Instagram story.
The West won the game 105-92, with this being the first time the West had won the McDonald's All-American Game against the East since 2018, with two years being canceled due to the pandemic.

Meleek Thomas to team up with Darius Acuff Jr. before they suit up for Arkansas at the Jordan Brand Classic
Meleek Thomas and Darius Acuff Jr. will play for Arkansas soon. Before that happens, they will be suiting up for Team Flight at the Jordan Brand Classic in Washington, DC, on April 18.
The two future Razorbacks spent the McDonald's All-American Game on opposite sides, and their team-up for Team Flight will provide fans a taste of what they would bring together for John Calipari's squad.
They will join AJ Dybantsa for that same team, as well as fellow five-stars Chris Cenac Jr., Darius Adams and Caleb Wilson. They will take on Team Air, which will include the Boozer Twins, Cameron and Cayden, as well as MCDAAG co-MVP Darryn Peterson and Kiyan Anthony.
