Eli Thomas’s Career Ends

After suffering a stroke in October, Eli Thomas’s football career is over. Edsall announced that Thomas will not be cleared to play football again. However, he will remain around the program for the season.

“He’s still going to be a vital part of what we do this year and his leadership and presence is something that will be good for us, good for his teammates and good for him,” Edsall said.
