After nine spring practices in the Allen N. Reeves Football Complex, the 265-pound rising junior defensive end has a chip on his shoulder and something to prove after a 2019 season in which he didn’t see the results he wanted to see.
“I always hold myself to a higher standard. I definitely didn’t achieve what I wanted to last year,” Thomas said. “But you have to get back to work, and you have to keep a level head, regardless of if I did good or I did bad”.
Just a few months after playing in the National Championship game against LSU in New Orleans, a new season is emerging for Thomas to re-direct his game with the motivation and edge that he had wearing the orange and purple during his freshman season.
