There has been some discussion as to Anthony Solomon's measurables. Apparently there are no verified combine numbers out there since the February 2017 Miami Nike, which is almost two years ago when he was just a sophomore (sic, incorrect, see addendum below) .
Here are the numbers that I have on him in my database:
February 2017 Miami Nike: Solomon, Anthony 19 LB St. Thomas Aquinas (FL)- FL 6-0 192 4.81 forty 4.33 shuttle 81.9 SPARQ
March 2016 Miami Nike The Opening: Anthony Solomon LB 19 FL St. Thomas Aquinas (FL) 6-0 186 4.95 forty 4.36 shuttle 84.48 SPARQ
February 2015 Miami Nike: Anthony, Solomon, LB, 19, FL, 5-10.5, 170, 5.01 forty, 4.78 shuttle, 52.74 SPARQ
ADDENDUM. I just found his February 2018 Miami Nike results and am posting them here:
February 2018 Miami Nike: 6-0, 188, 4.80 forty, 4.24 shuttle, 35 power ball, 33.7 vertical, 91.26 SPARQ
The 2018 STA roster lists him at 6-1, 210, which would men that he has added 22 pounds since February (seems like a lot).

His current HUDL page lists the results from the 2016 Miami Nike Combine (freshman year), and he states he does not know how to change them and that they are from 8th-grade (here, he is mistaken, as they are from freshman year):

This season, his team is 12-1 and still playing in the state 7A playoffs. The MaxPreps Xcellent 25 Writers' Poll ranks them ninth in the nation. He is leading the team with 54 total tackles in team stats reported for just 10 games. That does not seem like a lot, but STA has a lot of blowout games and gets the reserves in early. Plus the defense has a lot of three and outs. For some perspective, the next four leading tacklers have 38, 34, 31 and 29 tackles, respectively, and include two blue-chip juniors (Derek Wingo, D.J. Humes) and two seniors who are committed to Miami (Avery Huff) and South Carolina (Jahmario Brown). All are linebackers. After that the next top tacklers include a safety committed to Ohio State who is a top 100 kid (Jordan Battle), one of the top 2021 DT prospects in the nation (Tyreak Sapp), and a junior LB with offers from the likes of Michigan, Ohio State and Oklahoma (Devon Betty). Then comes stud 2021 DB Isaiah Taylor (son of Jason Taylor). Then come about another dozen P5 and DI caliber kids including a talented senior DE committed to Alabama (Braylen Ingraham). I swear, this team has about 20 kids on defense who could end up at P5 schools. And Solomon is the top defensive performer on the team, statistically.
So lets not freak out about measurables. The kid is a player. I'm not saying that he is a national top 100 kid but he is a legit four star in my view.
Addendum 2 (A couple additional notes):
- He is the nephew of STA head coach Roger Harriott
- His father is the former mayor of Montego Bay in Jamaica
