Rising Texas Southern linebacker with 3-star pedigree
Javar Thomas is a 6-foot-2, 190-pound redshirt freshman linebacker from Houston’s Nimitz High who arrived at Texas Southern with a three-star recruiting profile and top-15 linebacker status in Texas, giving him legit upside if he adds strength and keeps ascending. His appeal is the combo of hometown toughness, athletic frame, and early-career upside rather than proven college production, since 2025-26 roster pages list no game stats yet. If you want a developmental linebacker with length, recruiting buzz, and room to grow into the SWAC grind, Thomas is a worthwhile watch.
