Demaryius Thomas is set to be inducted to the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame on Feb. 25. Thomas, a Montrose native, is most well-known for his time with the Jackets and Denver Broncos, being the number one receiver on both teams. Thomas first enrolled at Tech in 2006, where he sat out the season as a redshirt freshman.
The following year, Thomas burst onto the scene, becoming the Jackets’ number two target and accumulating 558 yards — just 30 yards less than the leading option, Greg Smith. After his strong freshman year, Thomas continued to strengthen and became the Jackets leader on offense where he ended up with 627 receiving yards.
