High-upside, physical RB with verified two-way production and elite athletic traits
Thomas is a former four-star in-state prospect who arrived at Purdue with a rare blend of size, speed, and toughness, backed by a prep résumé of 2,867 rushing yards, 40 touchdowns, and 227 tackles while also qualifying for state track. In 2025 at Purdue, he saw limited action, rushing 2 times for 15 yards and adding 1 catch, so the film-and-measurables case matters more than the box score right now. He profiles as a fit for teams wanting a compact, aggressive back who can contribute immediately on special teams and grow into a downhill, physical runner.
