LSU’s rising safety making noise in camp
In 2026, Jhase Thomas looks like a fast-rising LSU safety with the kind of special-teams edge and versatility coaches love: he redshirted as a true freshman in 2025 after appearing in five games and even blocked a punt against Texas A&M. A former top Louisiana defensive back recruit, Thomas brings length, physicality, and back-end flexibility, and recent camp buzz says he’s emerging as a potential difference-maker. He’s the kind of player who may not flood the stat sheet yet, but absolutely can swing field position and bring energy to a roster.
