Jae'Shaun Thomas brings size, upside, and trench toughness to SDSU’s offensive line
In 2026, South Dakota State lists Jae'Shaun Thomas as a 6-4, 295-pound sophomore offensive lineman with no public stats, but his profile screams developmental plug-and-play potential: he transferred in after moving into a starting left-tackle role at Minnesota-Duluth in 2025, where that team reached the Division II playoffs. His background as a two-way prep lineman, two-time all-conference pick, and wrestler/track athlete hints at balance, leverage, and nastiness in the trenches. If a team wants a physical, versatile OL with starter experience and upside, he’s a strong fit.
