Class: RS Freshman

Ht/Wt: 6-1/249

Position: Defensive End

Hometown: Miami, Fla

Thoughts: Thomas was a late addition to the class of 2013, but a solid 3/4 star commit for the program in February of last year. Many may remember that Thomas held offers from some high level programs like Florida, Florida St. and Wisconsin before an injury set him back his senior year and only allowed him to participate in five games. Thomas took a redshirt last year but appears to be at 100% and ready to make an impact at linebacker. Although officially listed as a defensive end, during the spring Thomas starting getting reps as a strong side backer and will most likely back up Deiontrez Mount or Nick Dawson in that role. If Thomas can stay healthy he could be an excellent piece of our defense moving forward.

Sweet Tweet:

If I’m up past 11:00pm something in my house is either on fire, flooded or both. I hate to be the old man in the room, but having a kid wears you out. OR, maybe I’m just lazy and use the kid as an excuse? Both highly plausible.

The only time I stay up late is to watch infomercials or if I’m physically out of the house visiting a friend, at a bar, etc. Laugh all you want 20 something’s, but it will all catch up with you eventually. Things change. In 5 years you’ll probably still think it’s cool to take selfies and say ‘bae’. It won’t be. Trust me.
