Penn State’s long, rising safety with real upside
Braswell Thomas is a 2025 Penn State defensive back prospect from Pleasantville (N.J.) whose stock surged after a strong summer workout, with On3 moving him up more than 200 spots and ranking him as high as No. 32 among safeties in its 2024 update. He brings a 6-foot-2 frame, receiver background, and the kind of length and competitive feel Penn State likes in versatile secondary pieces. The appeal: developmental upside, physical tools, and special-teams potential — not instant stardom, but a smart fit for a program that loves molding athletic, multi-use defenders.
