Massive interior plug with Power 5 experience
Chris Thomas is a 6-6, 315-pound redshirt senior DL for Syracuse who brings proven size, length, and multi-school experience from Florida and Marshall into the Orange front. In the 2024 season at Marshall, he posted 42 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, 1 sack, and 2 pass breakups, showing he can survive inside and disrupt plays without needing to rack up flashy sack totals. He looks like a classic “make the tackle disappear” lineman: sturdy, experienced, and versatile enough to fit a rotation or spot start if you want a big body who can hold the point and eat blocks.
