Thomas West Jr. is a speedy, undersized DB with upside in New Haven’s secondary
Thomas West Jr. enters the 2026 season as a sophomore defensive back for New Haven, listed at 5'5" and 142 pounds, after appearing as a freshman in 2025 at 5'8" and 157 pounds on the roster.[1][12][13] The profile says there are no current stats available, so the best read is upside: he’s a compact, likely quick-twitch defender who fits best as a coverage-first DB with developmental room. If a team wants length and physicality, he may be a tougher fit; if it wants energy, range, and a player who can grow into the role, he’s intriguing.[1][12][13]
