Ray Thomas brings SEC-sized experience and run-stopping bulk to Mississippi State's front
Ray Thomas, a 6-4, 300-pound graduate transfer, gives Mississippi State a seasoned interior defender with proven production: in the 2025 season he logged 10 tackles and 1 sack in limited game action, while his career totals include 208 tackles, 24 tackles for loss, and 7.0 sacks. His appeal is the blend of size, experience, and disruptive traits—he can anchor against the run, flash in the backfield, and bring veteran stability to the line. If a defense wants a tough, battle-tested DL who won't flinch in the SEC, he's a strong fit.
