Thomas started his prep career at Ellender and was a force. He then graduated from prep school in Texas before signing with McNeese where he spent the first two seasons of his career. He transferred from the Cowboys to Southern this past season and got the most collegiate playing time of his career.
He will have 2 seasons remaining of eligibility for the remainder of his collegiate career.
