This is not the profile I wanted to write last. I was going up the rankings then had plans to write about Donte Starks and Soni Fonua to finish things off. Unfortunately, an ankle injury that required surgery changed things, sidelining Kardell Thomas for the entire season. Maybe next year, I can just re-hash this article in a “Better Know a Red-Shirt Freshman” article. It’s a disappointing early end for Thomas, who was already making huge strides to earning a starting spot his freshman year.
Kardell Thomas wasted little time in high school before deciding where he wanted to go, committing to LSU at a camp in the summer before his sophomore season.
