Position: Linebacker
Year: Senior
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 209 lbs.
Hometown: Lawrenceville, Ga.

2016 Stats: Fifth on the Syracuse Orange with 52 tackles. Played 12 games as the strong side linebacker. Added four tackles for loss, a sack, a fumble recovery, and two forced fumbles to his junior season resume.
2017 Projections: He’s the returning starter and will hold that spot. Kielan Whiter switches from safety to backup Thomas. So Parris Bennett, Zaire Franklin and Thomas will be the forces at linebacker.
How'd He Get Here?: Thomas chose Syracuse over a handful of great options. Oklahoma tops the list but Cincinnati and Indiana are on there too.
What'd Recruiting Sites Say?: Three stars all around!
