Yale’s tough, productive workhorse with big-game juice
Alex Thomas has been one of Yale’s most productive running backs in the available Yale archive, featuring a 2011 season where he earned Second-team All-Ivy League honors and a role as the team’s offensive back of the year; he also showed explosiveness with a 204-yard game against Penn before an injury cut that outing short. What makes him interesting isn’t just the box score stuff: he’s been praised as Yale’s strongest pound-for-pound player, and his running style has a physical, dependable edge that fits a team wanting a back who can carry volume and bring attitude.
