Thomas is right out of the Triangle, playing at Heritage in Wake Forest. He is a former teammate of incoming freshman Ricky Person (RB).

The 247Crystal Ball is currently tilted heavily in the Wolfpack’s favor (82% – 11 expert predictions). He has been a frequent visitor over at NC State for quite sometime now.

Thomas is honestly one of my favorite players I’ve personally ever watched High School film of. He is a rare breed. He is instinctual. He is fearless and lays devastating hits. He plays with emotion and passion. Thomas honestly reminds me of NC State great Nate Irving. Thomas is everything I love to find in a linebacker.

This season he had 112 tackles and 3 interceptions. Thomas also shared the backfield with Person, averaging 9.6 yards per carry.
