Chico Thomas Jr. pops early as a red-zone threat for Fairmont State
In the 2026 season, Fairmont State freshman WR Chico Thomas Jr. is already flashing big-play juice, with 2 catches for 35 yards and a touchdown, including a 29-yard scoring grab against Dayton. At 6-foot-2 and 200 pounds, he brings a promising outside-frame, plus enough length and physicality to win at the catch point and develop into a reliable target. He looks like a classic upside play: not yet a volume monster, but the kind of receiver who can tilt games if his route detail and weekly target share keep climbing.
