Elijah Thomas is Lynchburg’s do-it-all glue forward
In the 2025-26 season, Elijah Thomas emerged as a reliable two-way piece for Lynchburg, appearing in all 26 games and bringing energy, rebounding, and disruptive defense off the wing. He’s the kind of forward who helps a team win the dirty-possession battle: he posted a career-high 17 points with eight rebounds on Jan. 29, 2026, and earlier delivered 11 rebounds in a season-opening spark, while also stacking steals and blocks. At 6-foot-3, he may not overwhelm with size, but his intensity, versatility, and bench-to-starter impact make him a strong fit for teams that value hustle, toughness, and low-maintenance production.
