Justin Thomas brings NFL-style size and disruptive upside to Youngstown State's front
Justin Thomas is a 6-foot-6, 250-pound defensive lineman who redshirted in 2025 and already flashed playmaking juice with a spring-game scoop-and-score in 2026, a nice sign for a young edge-leaning DL with length and explosion.[1][4][5] His high school résumé — 51 tackles, 13 sacks, 15 tackles for loss, six pass breakups and a forced fumble in his senior season — points to a disruptive, high-motor defender who can win with range and length.[1] If you want a developmental lineman with upside and size that jumps off the page, he’s a strong fit.
